Hello, I am Carla. I can still remember seeing the mysterious shadows(影子) when I was a little kid. They looked like large birds passing over my neighborhood! Sometimes we did see hawks and eagles(鹰和雕) flying around where I lived. But their shadows were not so large as the mysterious ones. The mysterious shadows were always very dark, so what was creating them couldn't be too high. But I never saw them!
Once I was working in the yard when I saw a shadow coming down the street. But when I looked up, I only saw darkness for a second! If it was just a plane, why wasn't there a loud noise? If it was a kite, who was flying it?
I asked my mother about the mystery. She told me she had also seen the shadows. And she guessed they were thunderbirds(雷鸟)! That's because it's said that this kind of bird is very large. But the thunderbird is just a special bird in American Indian culture. My mother even told me lots of times that just before the shadows appeared, rabbits and other little animals would run away and hide!The last mysterious thing was that nobody else in my city looked up when the shadows passed over.

A Special Experience
By Li Ming
Today I want to share one of my special experiences with you.A few months ago, a strange thing happened in my life. I heard a strange noise outside the window every night. I thought there might be a person standing outside the window. I asked my parents to see what it was. However, they found nothing. They thought it might be the wind. But I didn't think so.
One day I decided to look for the noise-maker. As soon as I heard the strange noise, I jumped out of my bed. Suddenly, I saw a black cat jumping up and down near the window. It might want to make friends with my pet cat, but it couldn't get into my house.
Do you think it is strange? Have you ever had this kind of experience in your life?
