I was very grown up，and I thought that I would be just fine. I was fine for a while. I watched television and had something to eat. I called my friend on the phone and we talked for a while. Then，I sat down to read a book. The house was quiet，very quiet. I found myself listening very carefully. I heard a tap，tap，tapping noise. I wondered where it was coming from. It seemed to be coming from the window. I turned out the lights so that nobody would see me，and I peeked out the window carefully. I was expecting to see a robber was tapping at my window. There was nobody there. It was just a tree branch swaying in the breeze and tapping at the window. I felt silly. I turn on my lights and sat back down to read my book. A few minutes later，I heard some creaking noises. I listened carefully. Then，I heard a clunking noise. I think it might have been the furnace. Then，there was a whirring noise. My imagination began to played tricks on me. I was imagining that there were all kinds of creatures in the house. I told myself to grow up. I wouldn't let my imagination run away with me. I was glad when my parents got home. I told them about all the noises that I had heard. My parents laughed and said that all house make noises. We're usually just so busy that we don't hear all the noise that go on. I have stayed home alone many times now. I just ignore all the little creaks and noises that I hear. I am still alert and listen for anything suspicious，but I know that there are lots of noises that are harmless. That tree that taps on my window still frightens me sometimes，but I'm a lot braver now than I was the first time that I stayed home alone.
