  2. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    There is a house in Crinkle near the school and people named Wrights living in it and one night they heard a horse and car stop outside the door and they thought it was someone coming to them for something. When they went to the door they saw no-one outside and they heard afterwards that the people who lived in the house before them also heard the same noise with the horse and car at night.
