Part 1:
It was a dark and stormy night. The wind was howling and the rain was pouring down. Maria was home alone and curled up on the couch, reading a book. Suddenly, she heard a strange sound. It sounded like someone was tapping on the window. She got up to investigate.

Maria: "Who’s there?"

Silence.

Maria: "Hello? Is anybody there?"

She looked outside but couldn't see anyone. She went back inside and tried to forget about it, but the sound kept coming back. She was starting to get scared.
