show good and bad of persons in the drama. Some puppets have movable arms and legs . They’re

reflected(反射，映出) on the white screen through the light.

During a shadow puppet play, the players stand behind a white screen with lights behind it

A few months ago, a strange thing happened in my life. I heard a strange sound outside the

window every night. I was scared and didn’t know what to do. I thought there might be a thief

standing outside the window was closed. I asked my parents to see what it was. But they

didn’t find anything. They thought it might be the wind. But I didn’t think so.

That lasted for a few days. I couldn’t sleep well. Sometimes I even couldn’t fall asleep, One

day, I bought a flashlight(手电筒) in a market. At midnight, as soon as I heard the strange sound,

I jumped out of my bed with the flashlight. I saw a black cat jumping up and down near the

window. He might want to make friends with my pet cat, but he couldn’t get into my house.

Do you think it is strange? Have you ever had this kind of experience in your life?
