When I realized that it was too dark for me to read 13 . I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone 14 , “Help! Help!” It seemed to come from the trees at the end of the yard. I looked out but it was too dark to 15 anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It 16 like a child, but I could not 17 what someone would be doing in our backyard, unless one of my neighbour’s children had climbed a tree and had not been able to 18 .
I decided that I ought to go out and have 19 in the yard, just in case someone was 20 . I got a flashlight and a stick, which I thought might be useful. With these in my hands, I went out 21 the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. “Who is there?” I 22 as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no 23 . With the help of my flashlight, I 24 all over that end of the yard, including the branches of the trees. There was no 25 of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my 26 made fun of me, probably because of the strange creatures (生物) on another 27 which I read about in the story.
I had to go back into the house and put the stick and flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book again when I was 28 by the cry of “Help! Help!” This time it was from right behind me! I dropped my book and 29 . There, sitting on the table was my neighbour’s large green and red 30 .
