Theo moved into a new apartment. Every evening at eight, he heard a deep voice through the wall. "The ship is sinking! Save the captain's cat!" Theo was scared. He held a glass to the wall to hear better, and he phoned his sister. "Maybe it's a ghost," he said. "Don't be silly," she said. "Go and knock."
After a week, Theo knocked on his neighbor's door. Mrs. Okafor, an old actress, opened it. She was recording an adventure story for children in the hospital. She laughed and said, "Come in! I need someone for the sounds." Soon Theo was making a creaking door, thunder with a baking tray and rain with rice.
