You may know a quail as a small, plump game bird. The verb to quail is not at all related to the bird. Who or what can make you quail? Write a funny poem or short story about a time when something made you quail - until you realized there was no cause for concern.

Q2
My mum went shopping,
Leaving me and my friend playing,
In the big house,
all by ourselves.
We were playing happily,
Until we heard a voice shouting,
Anybody there?
It came from downstairs,
Which made us terribly quail.
Our faces turned as pale as paper,
Our hands became as cold as ice,
Our blood almost stopped flowing,
Our mind was hardly thinking.
We at last got up our courage,
And went downstairs together.
We saw my mum’s mobile phone ringing,
“Anybody there”, “anybody there”
That’s what was making the scary noise
Whew
I guess it was no use for bringing our toy guns.

Q2: I went to see my aunt in a heavy fog,
I went there by car and soon I was lost.
I was so frightened that I drop the map and soon crying,
when I heard "I am a ghost !'"I was very frightened
I took my gun and walk through the forest,
I saw nothingexcept a beam of light ,
I go to my car and I heard the noise again,
'I am aghost ! I am a ghost ！"
I check all the things I brought and soon find out a strange thing,
My phone ring has turned into '' I 'ma ghost ! ''
Then I remembered ;
Today is Halloween !
Great stuff.
