We love our carpet, we do everything on it. My younger brother, Josh, plays with his lego, I read my books and my little sister, Jess, plays with her dolls.
When we play on our carpet we are always happy.
“Lucy's It for Hide and Seek!” Jess shouted.
“Lucy, count to one million.” Josh instructed as he and Jess ran off to hide. I closed my eyes and counted, but only to thirty.
“Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty! Coming, ready or not!” I shouted. I ran into the dining room. Nothing. I tried the kitchen. No one. Living room. There was Josh, looking like he had seen a ghost.
“Found you!” I said.
“L...L...Lucy, there was something under the c...c....carpet. I saw it m...m....moving.” Josh stuttered.
“Don't make things up like that Josh, now help me find Jess.” I said.
“Lucy it's true! The carpet was moving!!” Josh convinced.
I sighed. “OK then, I'll lift up the carpet to see whats there.” I told Josh.
“Fine.” Josh said. So I cautiously walked towards th carpet and slowly and gently I lifted it up. Nothing was there.
“See Josh, it was all your imagination.” I told him.
“But I did see the carpet moving!” Josh convinced.
“There's nothing there though.” I said, I looked at the carpet. Suddenly, a little brown creature thing of some sort crawled out from under the carpet. I was shocked.
“Get me a jar.” I told Josh. He did as I said. I opened the lid of the jar and quietly tip-toed over to the creature. When it wasn't looking, I put the jar on it and screwed the lid on. I took it outside and unscrewed the lid on the jar, and the creature crawled out into the hedge.
“I'm glad its gone. Oh, we still need to find Jess!” Josh reminded me. I nodded and we ran back into the house.
