Yesterday, my dad was reading the newspaper in his room and suddenly a black and giant bird
came through the window. My father felt scared and began to scream because that bird was very
big and ugly. We heard his screams and ran quickly to him. When we got to my father´s room, he
was trembling under the table and the bird was flying around the room. We saw the bird, it opened
its enormous beak and screached very loudly. His shrill broke the windows in the room and some
other items made of glass. We felt scared and we ran out of the House. My mom called the police.
A police on a motorcycle arrived quickly and when entered to our House, he found an old man in
our kitchen looking for milk and bread. We did not know who the man was. Someboy told us that he
was the previous owner and the giant bird was his pet.
