Вот One cold winter evening, a certain sixteen-year-old girl was at home alone and watched TV. Her parents went on holiday to friends. The whole day it was snowing heavily, but the girl felt well and cozy, sitting on the sofa in the living room, wrapped in a warm blanket. By midnight, parents had not returned, and she began to feel uneasy. She did not want to call them, so they did not think that she could not take care of herself. The TV stood in the corner of the room next to the large window. She watched the next film, when suddenly she caught a glimpse of something moving in the window. In the dark among the falling snow, she could distinguish the figure of a man walking towards her. As he approached, she could see his face. It was covered with scars, and lips were stretched in an ominous smile. Frightened, the girl froze, not daring to move. The man stood and looked at her silently through the glass. Then he suddenly put his hand into his coat pocket and pulled something out. It was a knife ... Unable to withstand, the girl grabbed the phone from the table by the couch, dialed the police number and held her breath in anticipation of an answer."There's a man outside the window," she whispered, her eyes fixed on the horrible guest. "He's got a knife." Please, come quickly. My address... She sat motionless, minutes passed one after another. The man outside the window still stood and looked directly at her. In the end, the girl heard the sounds of a siren outside and the police began knocking on the door. The girl rushed to the front door, admitting the policemen. They told her that they had not seen anyone near the house and found no traces. "It can not be," said the girl, pointing to the window. "He just stood there when you knocked." You could not miss it."It's impossible," said the officer. - There was no one, and the snow was untouched. With such snow, even if there was someone there recently, he would leave distinct traces."But I saw him with my own eyes!" - the girl insisted."You know, your eyes can play a cruel joke with you," the officer grinned. "Maybe you're watching too many films?" The police were about to leave when, suddenly one of the officers noticed something was amiss. He frowned and went around the sofa on which the girl was sitting. On the carpet behind the sofa there were wet traces and an abandoned knife."You saw a man not outside the window," said the officer. - You looked at his reflection. All this time he stood two steps behind your back
