I was reading my favourite book, 'The Beauty and the Beast' one Sunday evening while rain poured down along with thunder and lightning. Suddenly the electricity went off. A candle appeared out of nowhere, shining brightly in the pitch darkness and started speaking. I was scared to death. And then the electricity came back revealing a head in front of me. It was my little sister holding a candle.
