Ans. “Story on Strange Footprints”

One day I sat alone in a park. A part of the track was muddy. Suddenly, I saw footprints on the mud. I followed the footprints. But there was none. New footprints were appearing as if someone was walking away – whether it was a ghost or an invisible man? I could not decide then I came back. And I tried to check it with my footprint and found that it was as big as mine and similar to the print of my shoes.

We laughed loudly and found it to be mine Ha Ha!
