When I was a child, I lived in a village where nights were very dark and quiet. One night there was a big full moon, and my grandmother told us scary stories about creatures that walk around at night.
After hearing those stories, I went outside to get some water. Suddenly I heard strange sounds behind the trees. My heart started beating fast and I thought maybe a monster was watching me.
I ran back inside the house as fast as I could and told everyone that I saw something moving near the trees. My family came outside with a flashlight to check.
But when the light reached the treeβ¦ we all started laughing. It was only our neighborβs goat eating leaves and making weird sounds.
That night I was scared like I saw a real monster, but later it became one of the funniest memories of my childhood.
