Who or What Lives in That Mansion?
It was a cold starry winter night. A little girl
named
Brianna, with a blond ponytail and blue eyes, struggled across the
snow
covered sidewalk on Maple Street. She
was out on the sidewalk because she was delivering mail.
Suddenly she stopped, Brianna had come to the huge
mansion
on Maple Street. It was always dark, but she thought she saw a light on
the
very top window. Curious, Brianna ventured to the door of the mansion
and
it squeaked open. She peered inside, astonished to see that a
little
hallway lead to a gigantic closet. Brianna silently walked into the
closet.
Click!!! Someone had just locked Brianna in the
closet!
Brianna's heart jumped to her throat, frantically, she pounded against
the
closet door trying to knock it down. It didn't work, so she hunted for
another
way out. She looked fruitlessly, but didn't find another way. Brianna
felt
something underneath her. Looking down she was startled to see a ruler.
Then
she had an idea, she picked up the ruler and slid it through the lock.
The
lock clicked open and Brianna sprinted out.
Smack!!! Brianna ran into the owner of the mansion.
"
Brianna, honey, " a familiar voice called out. " Grandma! You live
here?
" Brianna cried out. " Why yes child. " Grandma answered. Grandma
didn't
know I was in the closet and locked the door, Brianna figured. That was
the
end of the mysterious mansion on Maple Street. For Brianna, it was now
home.
