I was home alone. My mum and dad were away at a party at their office. Shinta, my
sister, wasn’t home either; she was at the mall with her friends. It wasn’t the first time
I was home alone, but that night was different. It was particularly cold and silent. I
would be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid. I was reading a book in my room when I heard
something tapping on the roof. I sat still, trying to focus on the book I was reading,
but then the tap turned into a rap, “rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat.” I thought it was a tiny
monster inside the wall. I jumped off my chair and ran downstairs. I could hear the
doorknob slowly turning. I stopped in fear. The door opened. It was my dad. I ran to
him and immediately hugged him. I told him about the noise upstairs. My dad went up
to check it out. I stayed downstairs with my mum. He stopped in front of my bedroom
door and listened carefully. He looked very serious, but then he smiled at me. “It was
the house lizard tapping its tail. It was probably calling its friends, Joe,” said my dad. I
sighed. It was the most frightening moment in my life, but I learned a thing or two. No
one can think clearly if they are full of fear.. Let's study the sentence in the text.
