My Naughty Brother

My Naughty Brother

I’m Frank, and I have an older brother called Jim. He is 15 years old. That’s five years older than me. When we were younger, Jim was very naughty. One day, my parents went out, so we were left alone in the house. We had our dinner very early, then wanted to watch a film. There was a film about a ghost. He said it was a cute and funny ghost called Casper. I wasn’t scared at all. We liked the movie a lot. It was late and we went to bed. I was very sleepy. The room was quiet, but it was a rainy night. Outside, the wind and the rain were very noisy. The window was open. My brother Jim said there was a shadow outside on the balcony. I looked outside and I saw two shining eyes. ‘It’s a ghost!’ my brother shouted. I was very scared. Then my naughty brother started to laugh. It was our cat, Tabby, sitting on the balcony. He was cold and wet. His green eyes were big and bright. He meowed and ran inside. He was happy to be out of the rain. I was very angry with my brother. He felt bad and said he was sorry.
