Scary Story

Jill asked her friends to spend the night. They had a slumber party. They told scary stories in the dark.

“Once, there was a goblin,” said Jill. “He had a red face and red eyes. He liked to scream in people’s ears.”

The girls around Jill looked scared. But they wanted to hear the rest of the story. “Keep telling it,” they said.

Jill said, “The goblin came to the window one night.” 

Then Jill looked out the window. There was a red face with red eyes. She screamed. The other girls screamed, too. They were so scared.

Jill turned the light on. Then the girls saw that it wasn’t a goblin at all. It was Jill’s brother, Travis. He held a flashlight under his chin. It made his face and eyes look red. “You girls scream too loud,” Travis said.

恐怖故事

吉尔请她的朋友们过夜。他们举行了一个睡衣派对。他们在黑暗中讲恐怖故事。

“曾经有一个妖精，”吉尔说。“他长着红脸庞和一双红眼睛。他喜欢在人们耳边尖叫。”

吉尔周围的女孩看起来很害怕。但他们想听听故事剩下的部分。“继续说下去，”他们说。

吉尔说：“有一天晚上，小妖精来到了窗前。”

然后吉尔向窗外望去，那儿有一张红脸和一双红眼睛。她尖叫起来。其他女孩也尖叫起来。他们太害怕了。

吉尔打开了灯。然后女孩们发现那根本不是妖精，是吉尔的兄弟特拉维斯。他下巴夹着手电筒，这使他的脸和眼睛都红了。“你们这些女孩尖叫得太大声了，”特拉维斯说。
