While counting he can hear the sound of his brother ' s steps . Then he says ,' I am coming ', loudly . The boy searches here and their but cannot find his brother then he hears the noise coming from above room , which he has searched surely . He goes upstairs and finds the noise coming out from under the bed , he sits to see what ' s under the bed but it is empty . He roses and someone from behind pats him . He screams loud but sees his little brother there standing . He asks where was he to which his brother says he was downstairs . He tells his brother he heard something under the bed but his brother says he must be mistaken . They both go downstairs to see if the old man is awake but find him still sleeping . The big brother relaxes his breath and asks his brother to go back to the room . But to his shock his brother was missing and so the old man . He screams his brother name and a reply comes . ' I told you to NOT MAKE A NOISE , I don ' t like kids who makes a noise or else I have to shut them up .' The kid runs at the frightening sight of the old man .
