PARAGRAPH
James heard strange sound downstairs. He and his brother Herman decided to find what was going on. They feared it must be a ghost. Meanwhile mother woke up. She assumed it would be robbers and tried to call for help. The neighbours helped in calling the police. After a while the police arrived. They got in and searched around the house. Finally, they stated that there was no one inside the house. Suddenly they heard some noise at the attic. All of them ran to find the ghost or the robbers, But were surprized to find the old grandfather. He in a delusional state of mind got one of their guns and shot a cop in his shoulder. After so much of confusion it became clear that it was the Oldman who had come in the dark to get some water.
