It was a stormy night. Tom wanted to be up till late but his mom ordered him to get into the bed. He fell into a deep sleep but soon some sounds woke him up. He peeped out of the covers cautiously. The house was eerily silent. Except for a strange sound and a silly giggling!

There were violent winds and screeching noises, shadows and other scary sounds. Tom was already scared when he heard “meeeooow” and a loud thud. The sound was a piano tune familiar to Tom. He had it heard earlier in a movie. He was not able to recall that movie, but due to the circumstances around him his heart started pounding and he himself declared it to be a ghost!!

After a long debate between his heart and mind he finally gathered some courage and moved down on tip toe. On hearing the sound again, he was able to make out that the sound was coming from outside the house. After reaching down he decided to peep through the living room windows to check who was outside. Without making himself visible he peeped out of the window and saw absolutely nothing there. Then he decided to go near the backyard door and see if there was something. As he started moving towards the backyard the sound became louder. Tom plucked up some courage and asked, “Who’s there?” On receiving no reply, he repeated, “I…is somebody there?” As he opened the backyard door there was a bright flash of light. When he opened his eyes after the flash, he saw something which looked like a part of a big machine which had fallen on the ground.

Now he recalled that he had heard that piano tune in his favorite alien movie and he had also seen that part where a big machine fallen from space. It was the part of a spaceship. Just then, something touched him on his knee. He looked down to see a small, green thing with a huge head and big, cute eyes. He put out his trembling hand. As soon as it touched the thing’s outstretched hand, he got a shock!

Suddenly, he heard a sound “Tom get up and have your breakfast”. He woke up, hugely relieved that all that had been a dream. He got ready and went down for breakfast. The breakfast was served in the backyard. But…..when he reached there, he saw the same machine part lying in a corner of the backyard. And ….he couldn’t be sure, but he saw cute, big eyes peeping from within a bush. Now, he was breathlessly waiting for night …..

Once upon a time, there was a dog named Snoopy. He was a very kind guy. Kindness made him happy. He smiled at everyone. When he was born, Doctor Hoppy practically dropped him when he saw Snoopy’s smile.

Not because it was cute or anything, or not because he smiled just after he was born, but because his smile was “creepy”, said Dr. Hoppy.

Not only the doctor, but the whole world thought so. This made Snoopy very downhearted. The only place he liked was the bank of River Soapy.

So he went there and shouted his heart out. Out came an extremely ugly gray fish. It had a hard time breathing. Snoopy helpfully threw it back in the river. It came out again. Snoopy knew why this was happening now. Just because of his ugliness, all the fishes detested him and therefore, excluded him from all the games.

So Snoopy found a poly bag, filled it with water and dumped the fish inside. He carried it home and took great care of it and decided to name it Cuppy. But the fish soon turned too big for a fish bowl. So this guy Snoopy, he bought it a hugenormous fish tank. Cuppy grew to be even bigger than Snoopy himself!

One stormy afternoon, Cuppy looked longingly outside; he seemed to really want to go there. So Snoopy took it out. Everyone looked at them as if they were really impressive. A scientist rushed towards Snoopy. Snoopy smiled. The scientist held out his hand. “Is this your fish, sir? Well, this is the rarest fish ever known!”

Since that day, animals buy TICKETS to see Cuppy. Snoopy became very famous, and even I’ve got a Snoopy pillow.
