Example:
Dear Mike,
Last week, everyone in your town was feeling uneasy because of the noises outside the window every night.
Now the mystery is solved. It turns out to be a monkey, it eacaped from the zoo in town, it lost its way.
People in the neighborhood sent it back to the zoo, and peace has returned to the neighborhood.
I think when something unusual happens, we should try
to find out the truth instead of being frighted or scared.
Yours,
Please finish the article about the strange happenings.
