Answer: It was a cold foggy morning. When I came out of my house, I saw a giant footprint. It looked strange. It appeared like the footprint of a man. But it was too big to be a man’s footprint. My first reaction is of fear. Then I decided to follow the footprints. After going for some distance I could see many in a series. After following the footprints, I reached a place where I could find a small tent at a corner of the playground. Too much noise was coming from inside the tent.
After listening at the voices for some time, I could recognize some of my friend’s voices. Now, fear had given way to curiosity. I entered the tent. What I saw surprised and relieved me.
