Hi GoldAluminium8,
That rat is quite funny! Perhaps it says 'shut up' because the narrator says it's a 'horrible rat'?!!
I hope you liked the story.
Best wishes,

Other things were not scary, but one thing was scary! At the last screen, Bob's eyes are?!?!?!?!?! Bob's eyes are beaming with yellow and green colours. I think it's haunted in the haunted house!
