Everyone in the house was annoyed with Tom’s constant screaming. His parents didn’t believe him because they thought he was doing this to draw attention to himself.

Long Answer Questions
Q5.Tom describes his new house as dark with cold, echoing rooms producing strange sounds. Describe how Tom felt before and after moving to his new house.
Tom was scared as he felt that the house was too big,old and spooky. Once inside, Tom looked out of the window at the garden outside and found it to be bright, warm, green and fresh. He wanted to be there and not in the dark house with its cold, echoing rooms and strange, inexplicable sounds.Tom’s view about the house changes after the reality about the strange noises comes out in the open. Finally, it is he who says that the spooky house has become a warm and comforting home where the previously ill and moaning child’s laughter can now be heard on the sunny lawns.
Q6.How was the mystery of the moaning toybox finally solved?
When Father heard Tom screaming, he entered the play room hurriedly. He dragged the toy box from where the sound was coming into the playroom. He took a 3-iron golf club and went towards the coal bunker at the side of the house. He clambered down a few steps and rapped on the door of a room. Once inside the room, he stood back with his club raised.That is when he saw a woman in tears. She said that her family had moved in this part of the house for shelter as it had been empty, and unnoticed by others.Her child was unwell and cried a lot.This is how the mystery of the moaning box finally solved.
