The Doll

"The Doll That Talks at Midnight" On Xiaoqing's birthday, she received an old-fashioned doll. The doll wore a white dress, had big black eyes, and a strange smile on its lips. That night, she placed the doll by her bedside. At three in the morning, she suddenly heard a little girl's voice. "Sister... I'm cold." Xiaoqing opened her eyes and found the doll missing. Terrified, she hid under the covers, but felt someone sitting on the edge of the bed. "Sister, why won't you look at me?" She mustered the courage to peek out. The doll was sitting by her pillow, its black eyes staring straight at her. Xiaoqing screamed and ran to find her mother. Upon seeing the doll, her mother's face instantly turned pale. She asked with a trembling voice, "Who gave you this doll?" Xiaoqing said it was a birthday gift she received today. Her mother suddenly hugged her and cried, "This was your sister's favorite doll... She died five years ago." When the mother and daughter looked back, the doll was no longer in the room. The next morning, a photo appeared by Xiaoqing's bedside. In the photo, a strange little girl was holding the doll. And on the back of the photo, it read: "Mom, this time it's my turn to sleep with my sister."
