A Dark and Stormy Night,
Story version By Student
Ruby Red Lips
I live in a house that stands alone on the top of a hill. A school is down the street.
One dark and stormy night when I was doing my homework I heard a strange noise. I heard a scratch, scratch, scratch on the window. I crept over to the window and to see what it was.
I saw this creepy old lady with red, red lips and long, long red fingernails. And she said, “Do you want to know what I do with my long red fingernails and my red, red lips?”
I said, “NO” and I shut the window.
The next night I heard the same scratch, scratch, scratch on the window. I was afraid it would be that same old lady but I went to the window. I was really scared.
It was that old lady and she said, “Now would you like to know what I can do with my long red fingernails and my red, red lips?”
Again I said, “NO” and I shut the window.
That night I just couldn't get to sleep because that old lady really gave me the creeps.
In fact I didn't get any sleep and got in trouble at school for falling asleep at my desk.
The next night I was at home doing my homework and again I heard that same scratch, scratch, scratch on the window. This time, I rushed over to the window and opened it and there stood that same old lady.
She said, “Now would you like to know what I do with my long red fingernails and my ruby red lips?”
“OK”, I said trying to be brave. Tell me and leave me alone.”
With that the old lady put her long red fingernail up to her red, red lips and went “blb-blb-blb---blb-blb-blb……..blb-blb-blb---blb-blb-blb.” I shut the window fast!
Any you know what? That old lady never bothered me again.
