The landlady is a story written by Roald Dahl. The tell tale heart is written by Edgar Allen Poe. These two stories are very different but also in some ways similar.

The servant said no and the check his room. Then the servant heart kept beating louder and louder when the police were still there. It got so loud the servant yelled and showed the police the dead body. The main characters in this story were the servant, the old man, and the police officers.

In the Landlady, the story stops and does not say what happens next. In the Tell Tale Heart the story explains what happens and finishes.
