    One day, Lucy and her friends decided to play near an old, mysterious house at the edge of the town. The house was known for its eerie noises and strange happenings. As they were playing, they heard a sound, a soft whisper-like voice calling out from inside the house.

    The children were initially scared, but Lucy, being the adventurous one, decided they should find out who or what was making the noise. She believed there might be someone who needed help. With a little persuasion, her friends agreed to follow her.

    They slowly approached the house, the sound growing louder as they moved closer. The front door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit room. The voice seemed to be coming from upstairs. They took a deep breath and started ascending the old wooden stairs.

    As they reached the top, they noticed a door slightly ajar. The voice was clearer now, it sounded like a song, a sad and melancholic tune. They pushed the door open and stepped inside a room filled with old furniture and dusty books.

    In the corner of the room, they spotted a small, frail woman. She was the one singing. She looked at them with surprise and then a warm smile spread across her face. She introduced herself as Mrs. Clara and invited them to sit.

    Mrs. Clara explained that she had been living in the house alone for years. The noises were just her singing and talking to herself. She was delighted to have visitors, especially children, as they reminded her of her own grandchildren.
