Urban Myth: The wolfman


Some people in my town believe in an old myth: the wolf man's myth. They say that fifty years ago, there was a young veterinary called Maxi who worked in the city. Once, Maxi saw a big black dog, but, while he was revising it, the dog bit him and ran away.

Then, Maxi became frightened and started to follow the dog. Both of them went intothe forest near the city, and nobody has ever been able to find him.
Some people say that maxi turned into a wolf, a wolfman, because of the bite, and he decided to live in the forest. However, they say that once a month, when the moon is full, he comes to the city like a wolf to abductall the dogs which have bitten him in the past.

My Room

My bedroom is big and green. It's next to the bathroom, and opposite my parents' room.
I share my bedroom with my younger brother, so there are two beds: my bed is below the window, and his bed is beside the door. The two beds are facing the TV, which is on the desk.
Near the desk, there is a small chest of drawers, full of interesting movies and exciting books.
There are two shelves above the TV, with toys,books, pictures, prizes and puzzles. There are four posters next to the shelves too.
There is a huge green wardrobe with clothes behind the beds, and there is a small toy-box next to it.
Finally, there is a large rug over the floor, between the beds.
