Hello.
As usual, I've tried to translate a French text into English.
I paid more attention to the used tenses this time, so I hope I didn't make a lot of mistakes. 
Thanks for any reply.
Quand Marcel était petit, sa grand-mère lui avait interdit d'aller dans le grenier, et il lui avait obéi pendant quelques années. Mais un jour, il devait avoir huit ans, il s'était levé au milieu de la nuit, la bougie à la main, et avait monté l'escalier qui menait à la porte du grenier. Là, au lieu des vielles malles et des toiles d'araignées auxquelles il s'attendait, il vit une pièce bien rangée, qui venait sans doute juste d'être nettoyée. Sur la table, un petit mot. Il eut à peine le temps de lire la première phrase ("Marcel, je t'attendais") qu'un orage éclata. Un éclair frappa le clocher du village et… il se réveilla. Il se rendit compte qu'il avait dû rêver, et que jamais il ne pourrait désobéir aux ordres de sa grand-mère.

When Marcel was a child, his grandmother had forbidden him from going into the attic, and he had obeyed her during a few years. However, one day, he must be eight, he had got /gotten up in the middle of the night, candle in the hand, and had ascended the stair that led to the door of the attic. There, instead of elderly *malles* and spider's webs he was expected to, he saw a well-tidied-up room that had probably just been cleaned up. On the table, a little word. He hardly had time to read the first sentence ("Marcel, I have been waiting for you") that a thunderstorm burst. A flash/bolt of lightning beat the bell tower of the village and... he woke up. He became aware he must have dreamt, and that he will never be able to disobey his grandmother's orders.

Hello Gerold!
Thanks for your reply!When Marcel was a child, his grandmother had forbidden him from going into the attic, and he had obeyed her during a few years. However, one day, he might be eight, he had gotten up in the middle of the night, with a candle in his hand, and had ascended the stairs which led to the door of the attic. There, instead of old trunks and spider's webs to which he was expecting to see, he saw a well-tidied-up room that must probably been just cleaned up. On the table, a few words. Scarcely had him time to read the first sentence ("Marcel, I have been waiting for you") when a thunderstorm burst. A bolt of lightning struck the bell tower of the village and... he woke up. He became aware he must have dreamt, and must never be able to disobey his grandmother's orders.
