December 7, 1917
It was 3:00am and Henry woke up from a deep sleep. He heard his Dad and his uncle downstairs. He also thought he heard someone else but he was too tired to go downstairs so he rolled over and went back to sleep. He woke up again at 7 o'clock well rested for the day. He climbed down the bunk bed ladder and opened the bedroom door. Then he walked down the stairs and saw someone drenched in water laying on the couch.
"AHHHHH!" Henry screamed. "Who are you?"
"Oh sorry I didn't wanna scare ya," he said in a country accent. Henry ran up the stairs screaming. No one had ever broken into his house before. His dad stopped him halfway up the stairs and told him that he and Larry found the guy last night. Bill made Henry apologize to the man.
"You didn't need to apologize." exclaimed the man. "Got a bag of chips? I'm starving."
"I'll go see if we have any." Bill found a bag of chips and gave them to the man. The man opened the bag of chips and shoved them in his mouth. He burped and said "Excuse me." Then the man said "I forgot to ask what's the kid's name?"
"My name is Henry, what's yours?"
"I'm Carl!"
"Well nice to meet you Carl!"

So ya, there's a new guy in the house. He said his name was Carl. He seems like a good person but he's still a little strange. I'm signing off now. Henry
P.S. He talks funny.
