It was late in the night; everybody was asleep except for my brother and me. We decided to play a trick on our parents. We walked slowly into our parents' bedroom. I took a large sheet of construction paper, drew a morning scene and hanged it on the window. Meanwhile, my brother advanced the time on the alarm clock to just ten minutes before seven. We went back to our bedroom and waited. Soon the alarm clock rang. My parents jumped out of bed. My father went to the bathroom while my mother came over to our room to wake us. She was surprised to find us awake and laughing. My parents were angry and scolded us for playing a trick on them at such a late hour. Nowadays they lock their bedroom door when they go to bed.
