The Mystery House (Таинственный дом)

One rainy night last spring, Paul and his sister Karen were driving home from a concert when their car broke down. They decided to go for help. They had been walking for about an hour when they arrived at a large spooky house with lights on near the road. They rushed to the front door and rang the doorbell. An old woman answered. She was wearing a long grey dress and she was smiling. She looked at Paul and Karen and pointed to the food on the dining room table. Paul and Karen hadn’t eaten anything since lunch, so they felt very hungry. Paul turned to thank the lady but she had disappeared. Suddenly, the lights went out and Paul and Karen heard a loud scream. Terrified, they ran quickly out of the house. Afterwards, they found out no one had lived in that house.
