It was dark ,and outside the wind was howling through the trees. The waves could be heard crashing wildly as rain pelted the windows. A faint thudding opened my eyes ,and i lay there silently til i heard it again. I reached over to my bedside lamp ,but the light didnt come on-the electricty had gne again (one of the hazards of south africa) . I was still laying there when the sound got louder , and it woke my husband up. We sat wondering where the noise was coming from and decided it was coming from the ceiling.so we got up,opened the trap door ,and my husband peered inside with his torch-and what did he see ? Bats ,lots and lots of dark bats that started flying around when the light disturbed them.he quicky jumped down ,and 2 bats wizzed out and flew into our study. Quickly we closed the door,and fled back to the room where we locked the door and spent a restless night thinking about those 2 dark bats in our house. In the morning we tiptoed out, and found them hangng on the curtains in the spare bedroom!
