हमारे बगीचे में एक ओर एक छप्पर बना है जिसमें द्वार पर मकड़ी के जाले लटके हुए हैं, जिसके कब्जे जंग लगे हैं और हवा के चलने भर से चरचराहट की आवाज करते हैं। जब मैं अपने बिस्तर पर लेटता हूँ, और उसे सुनता हूँ। मैं अवश्य . एक दिन इसका दरवाजा खोलूंगा।
2. There’s a dusty…. ….one day. (Page 49)
उसकी एक ओर एक मैली पुरानी खिड़की है जिसमें तीन टूटे-फूटे शीशे हैं। मैं प्रायः सोचता हूँ कि वहाँ ऐसा कोई है जो मुझे घूर रहा है जब भी मैं उसके पास से गुजरता हूँ। मैं अवश्य एक दिन इसकी खिड़की से अन्दर झांकूगा।
3. My brother….. …………. one day. (Page 49)
मेरा भाई कहता है कि छप्पर में एक भूत है जो गले हुए फर्श के तख्तों के नीचे छिपकर बैठा है। और यदि मैंने कभी भी उनके अन्दर कदम रखने की कोशिश की, वह कूद कर बाहर आयेगा और मेरा सिर काट देगा। परंतु एक दिन अवश्य मैं अन्दर जाऊंगा।
