Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window.  My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. 他们以为那可能是风。I don’t think so.”
我们镇上的每个人都感到不安, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what was it? We have no idea. Most people hope that this animal or person will simply go away,but I do not think that is going to happen. The noise-maker is having too much fun creating fear in the neighborhood.
