Dear Diary,

Last night we heard a horibble scream! So pa quickly got dressed, put on his boots and took his gun. Sounded like it came from Scott's house! said pa. Charles, you don't suppose---. No. said pa. And then he said, " Be right back". And walked out the door. "What was that horibble scream", Ma? said Laura. "I don't know. That's why pa is going to find out". said Ma. When pa came he told us," It didn't come from Scott's houes but, it was a panther"!!!
