Henry heard a scratching noise when he woke up. At first he thought it might be one of his young
children. Though, when he checked their bedrooms, all of them were fast asleep. He then listened to the
walls, but it sounded like the noise was coming from above the room. Henry walked up into the attic and
heard the sound as if an animal were scurrying away. He thought he caught a glimpse of a gray bushy tail
before it disappeared into a dark corner. He also noticed a pile of nuts and leaves.
What do you think caused the scratching noise?
a. one of Henry's children
b. a dog

she saw her brother's name. Her brother Chris is six years older than her. She couldn't believe it, and
wasn't surprised that the binding was loose.
