Late-night laughter

Late-night laughter in a city street always made her nervous.Lucy was a 9-year-old girl living in a big city.Her parents were always working, (comma) so she had to stay at home alone all day.In the beginning, she liked being home alone, but when her parents had to work at night she didn't like the idea.

She begged her parents not to leave her alone at home at night because she was afraid of the dark,but her parents said that it was going to be OK and that there was nothing to be afraid of.The first days she was sleeping without any problems and nothing scared her because she had her windows closed.

However, she forgot to close the window and left it wide open one night, and as she was sleeping, she heard some creepy noises coming from outside.She was so afraid from that night, so she told her parents not to let her home alone again, (comma) but they answered that maybe it was happening in her dreams and that nothing was real.One night she heard those creepy noises again and decided to go and see what caused them.She saw from her window and it was a dog which was barking.That day she realised that she should never be afraid again.
