  1. The annoyed man is trying to shoo away the thing under the rug. The mysterious thing is probably nervous.

    My only question is.....What is the thing?

  2. The big man is probably annoyed by the strange thing under the rug.The thing under the rug is probably lost and trying to get back to its real home instead of the man's home.It could be anything!

  4. I think I know what the annoyed man is trying to
    whack with the chair.It is probably a fluffy cat
    and I am sure it is nervous.

  5. I think the tall man is trying to get the animal under the rug with the chair because it might hurt him or attack him.The animal is very big so it might get mad.Or it might be hungry.

    What is the animal doing in his house and what is it?

  8. Aidan I think I con anser your qwseston.I'm thinking that a cat or a mouse is doing it because a lot of mice come to your house.But,I am still thinking what is under the rug?

  12. You're right! It could be a fluffy cat!
    On my opinion, I think it's a mole that got
    stuck in the man's house.The man probably dosen't
    like moles.I hope that he stops soon.

    Keep typing to me, Antony!
