The Whatsit

I read “The Whatsit”. One day, Mum and Dad are painting the kitchen and the ceiling. And they pull the carpet, Mum finds a trap door. She opens it, they can see stairs. They have a cellar.

They go into the dark cellar. And Dad turns on a light, Kipper wears an old sheet and he imitates a ghost. And they find a thing. Nobody knows what it is.

And they carry out it, Wilma and Wilf come. They also don’t know what it is. When two merchants come and they try to load it onto a truck, a woman comes. She works in a museum and she thinks that is so important thing. She gave Dad some money and she brings it at the museum.

After few days, the family go to the museum to see it. The sign is written “SWIFT or wool winder”. It is on a table and it is wrapped wool by a mannequin.
Dad and Mum give the children a snooker table. They play billiards.

I think that cellars are characteristic of American houses. I want to play billiards because I’ve never played.
