H. Sample story

It was a cold winter evening, and I was walking home from school with my little brother. Suddenly, we heard a strange noise behind us. My heart sank, and I felt a chill down my back.

We were passing an old park, and the streetlights were already on. The trees were dark, and there was nobody around. My brother was holding my hand tightly, and we were trying to walk faster.

Just then, a small dog ran out from behind a bench. It was barking loudly and chasing a ball. A moment later, a boy appeared and called it back. We both laughed with relief.

In the end, we got home safely and told our mum about the “terrible danger”. She smiled and said we had simply been frightened by a friendly dog.
