THE FRILLED LIZARD
It goes-without (0) saying, that our world is a truly weird and wonderful place. The Earth’s forests, deserts and seas contain countless (1) numbers of creatures - all diverse and all amazing in their own unique way. Let’s take a (2) look at a strange little reptile from ’The Land Down Under’ commonly (3) referred to as the Frilled Lizard.
The Australian Frilled Lizard can grow to as much as one metre (4) in length and weigh about half a kilo. It gets its (5) name from the large frill of skin located between its head and neck. The (6) purpose of the frill is to scare off enemies - it’s constructed in such a (7) way that when the lizard becomes frightened the frill flares out showing (8) off its brightly-coloured scales.
(9) Apart from the Frilled Lizard’s unusual appearance, its movements too are rather curious. (10) While the lizard usually gets around on all four of its legs, when it is alarmed it rises onto its (11) hind legs and flees to the nearest tree. It then quickly climbs up into the top branches of the tree and takes (12) cover until the danger has passed.

The strange portait
For (0) many years the owners and visitors of Heale house in Devon were aware of a mysterious presence in the mansion. (1) Every single night, a female figure would appear in a haze of blue and drift (2) through the fifteen-room house. The lady wore Edwardian clothes and terrified witnesses claimed she was always accompanied by the sound (3) of piano music.
The owners of the old house could (4) not explain this haunting as no one knew who the ghost could (5) be. Then one day, the owner, Alan Smith, was approached by a junk dealer (6) that gave him an old painting that she believed belonged to the house. Mr Smith was shocked to see (7) that the picture of a woman sitting at a piano, the same piano still in his drawing room, bore a striking resemblance (8) to the mysterious ghost in his home.
Now very curious (9) about the woman, Mr Smith began to dig deeper into the history of the house and its previous occupants. He eventually discovered that the woman in the picture was a lady called Mrs Bell, who (10) had lived in the house at the beginning of the 20th century. Unfortunately, she soon got into money difficulties and lost (11) all her possessions. Mrs Bell died not long after these sad events.
Strangely, as soon as Mr Smith returned the portrait to its rightful place on his drawing room wall, the ghost of Mrs Bell vanished and has not (12) been seen since.
