Read again and decide if the information in the sentences is T (true), F (false) or NM (not mentioned). Then explain the words in bold.

1) F (The text says "One night our beloved cat...", but then later says "Mrs Shade died ten years ago!" implying the event might have been mysterious or supernatural, so it's not simply a standard evening event.) 2) T (The text says: "'Don't be afraid, it's just an owl,' said a voice behind us.") 3) NM (The text says the lady rushed over and introduced herself, but it does not mention her offering any treats.) 4) F (The text ends with "Mum looked puzzled. 'What on earth are you talking about?' she said.", which implies she was confused, not that she believed the story.) **Explanation of bold words:** * **knocked:** struck a surface (like a door) with your knuckles to get attention. * **huge:** extremely large, very big. * **rushed:** moved very quickly or hastily. * **introduced:** told someone your name and other information when meeting for the first time. * **puzzled:** feeling confused because you do not understand something.
