Last summer I went to stay with a friend in Scotland. Her family lives in a very old house next to a like. One evening, while my friend was talking on the phone and her parents were watching television I decided to go for a walk around the lake. I was walking down the stairs from my room when I saw a girl in a long, white dress. She was carrying an old lamp and she was singing quietly. I smiled at her and said 'Hello' , but she walked past my quietly.
