Then,                 the twins made a noise to wake up Ramakant. Ramakant could not find his glasses. When he          looked out of the window he saw what he thought was a ghost.   
c.   Brave Ramakant was woken up in the middle of the night by a noise. He looked out of the             window and saw something on the tamarind tree.
