THE QUESTION
Tom stopped.What was that noise?He put his hand on Pete's shoulder.
"Did you hear that?"he whispered.They both listened carefully.
The noise seemed to be coming from the room behind the statue in front of them.
It sounded like a woman crying.They looked at the statue.
It was a strange creature with red eyes
it was almost as if the creature was watching them.
Tom suddenly felt cold.
He remembered what his father had told him about the secrets of the church.
He knew that the church had many secret rooms and that not all of them were safe.

You will not remember the question tomorrow.
If your answer is right,you may enter.
If your answer is wrong,well,then you'll be in trouble."Peter looked at Tom.
"I'll try,"he said.He walked up to the creature and listen to the question.
After a few minutes,he whispered the answer in the creature's ear.
They both waited for something to happen.
"Are you sure you gave the right answer?"Tom sked.
Pete did not have time to say anything.
