I was sleeping in my room. Suddenly I woke up. It was very dark. I heard an unusual sound in the cupboard. There was someone in my room. I thought it must be either a thief or a killer. I was too scared to shout. I lay still and could hardly breathe. Abruptly someone touched my foot. This made me shout  with fear.My parents heard my voice and came in. One of them switched on the light. They could see my plight. They looked here and there. Their eyes found the culprit. My father laughed when he saw it. It was nothing but a rat. I felt embarrassed to think that just a small rat made me feel so nervous. A sheepish smile ran down my face.
