When she would start walking again so, would the footsteps. She tried walking faster, then slower, but the steps would do the same. By now, she was getting worried and upset. As she looked ahead, she noticed the alley she and her Mother used to cut through on the way home from the market when she was small. The alley was dark, but she thought it would only take her a minute to get to the other side, and then she would be almost home. As she entered, she began running, but as she got to the other side she stopped. They had built a wall, and there was no way out. The footsteps now were getting closer.

They stopped, and she slowly laid down her book to seea her mother. aLights out, itas time for bed, a she said. Sometimes, all you need is a good book
