One Sunday evening, my friends Mary, Sandy, Den, Polly, and I decided to stay at my Daddy’s country house for the weekend. There was a strong storm outside, so we stayed indoors, sitting together in a circle near the fireplace.
Suddenly, a very strong wind blew and made a lot of noise. The lights flickered and then went out completely. 'What is that?' Polly asked. 'I think it's just a power cut,' Mary said to me.
We continued laughing and telling stories in the dark. After some time, we saw a bright flash of lightning that lit up the room. We heard a strange noise coming from another room. It was a secret room that Daddy said we couldn't go into.
Sandy said, 'Where is Den?' We didn't know where Den could be. We felt confused and scared but Polly was even more scared. She quickly stood up and went to the secret room.
Suddenly, the door opened by itself. Everyone gasped as Polly stepped inside. But then, we heard Den's voice. 'Guys, I found the circuit breaker, and look what else is here!'
