5. Read and answer the questions

My uncle Fred used to be a security guard at the Natural History Museum. He really liked
his job but one night something very strange happened. It was late and nobody was in the
museum. He was walking through the Dinosaur Room when he heard something in the
Large Sea Animals Room. He ran there and saw something behind a whale, but it was dark
and he couldn’t see well. Then, he heard a strange voice say “Fred, I’m here for you!” He
ran out of the room and ran all the way to the police station. When they went back to the
museum, they
found nothing. Was it a monster? A ghost? Or was someone in the museum? It’s a mystery.
Anyway, my uncle didn’t go back to the museum the following day or ever again.
