Karishma said "Don't do that. The burglar
may have a gun."

"What burglar? What gun?" asked mama

puzzled.

"There is a woman shrieking. May be someone
has pulled a gun on her." said Karishma, her

teeth chattering in fright.

Just then the screaming stopped. Mama said
"Calm down Karishma. I am going to open the

door to find out what is going on. Sounds
like Mrs. Sharma next door is in some kind
of distress. I am going to see if she needs

help."

Mama was just about to call out to Mrs.
Sharma when Mr. Sharma opened the door. Mama

asked what had happened. Mr . Sharma sounded
most embarrassed as he explained, "We forgot
to close the netting on the bedroom window

and a cat got in. Mrs. Sharma woke up to see
2 shinning green eyes staring at her in the

dark."
