I heard a queer sound of some animals complete the story
Answers
I had taken a shortcut home that night, as I was late and did not want my parents worrying about me. The house was a good three kilometres away from the river ferry stop, through paddy fields which had grown waist high.
As I hurried along the narrow, raised path between the fields, I heard a queer sound of some animals behind me. However, when I turned around, I could not see anything. I could see in the moonlight, that I was all alone as far as my eyes could reach. A faint yellow light flickered in the far horizon ahead. I increased my pace. But soon, once again, I heard the panting of a creature close to me. As I spun around in fright, a pale brown furry thing jumped upon me from nowhere and I was knocked off the path, into the slush of the paddy field. When I came to my senses, I was staring into the two wonderful eyes of Tommy, our four-legged friend, who had come searching for me!
