Is There Anybody There?

I was staying with some friends one weekend. I didn’t feel very well on Sunday morning. My friends went out, but I decided to go back to bed. After a few minutes I heard a strange noise. I got up and looked round the flat, but everything was all I right. So I went back to bed and soon I fell asleep. I had a very funny dream. I dreamt there was somebody in the flat. He was picking things up and then putting them down somewhere else. Every time he moved something, there was a funny noise.

After a long time I woke up, but I could still hear the funny noises from the dream. I was sure there really was somebody in the flat. I called out, «Is there anybody there?», but there was no reply. I was a little frightened. I looked in the living room, but there wasn’t anybody there. I looked in the kitchen, but there wasn’t anyone there either.

The noise came again; I was quite sure I wasn’t alone. I called out again, but nobody answered. I wanted to see if anything was in a different place, but everything was as it was before. The noise came again; this time I thought it came from the bathroom, I checked the taps on the bath and the basin, but they were firmly turned off.

Perhaps there was something in the garden? I went out and looked everywhere, but I couldn’t see anyone anywhere. I went back in and listened. Again there was complete silence; I didn’t hear anything for a few minutes. I began to think it was all my imagination. The noise came again. I went into the bedroom and had a good look everywhere. I found nothing that was making a noise, but I waited until the noise came again. I realized that it was coming from the clock. I looked at it carefully; it was a very modern battery clock. I looked at it for a few minutes. When it clicked again, I decided it was broken, so I left it on the dressing–table.

Later in the morning my friends came back and I told them the whole story. Everybody laughed at me. Everyone knows that battery clocks make noises every now and then, except me!
