NIGHТ SТORY

I watched a long film on TV last night, and it was very late when I went to bed. I read a book in bed because I couldn’t go to sleep. I fell asleep at about two o’clock at night but I woke up suddenly at three because I heard a loud noise in the kitchen. I walked down stairs, opened the kitchen door and I saw - our cat. I shouted at, and it ran away through the open kitchen window.
