--- Who called out to the thieves in the dark? |
| [00:18.360] |
Do you like stories? |
| [00:20.320] |
I want to tell you a true story. |
| [00:23.640] |
It happened to a friend of mine a year ago. |
| [00:27.400] |
While my friend, George, was reading in bed, two thieves climbed into his kitchen. |
| [00:34.800] |
After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room. |
| [00:40.400] |
It was very dark, so they turned on a torch. |
| [00:45.440] |
Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. |
| [00:49.280] |
'What's up? What's up?' someone called.^“ |
| [00:53.120] |
The thieves dropped the torch and ran away as quickly as they could. |
| [00:58.280] |
George heard the noise and came downstairs quickly. |
| [01:02.840] |
He turned on the light, but he couldn't see anyone. |
| [01:07.520] |
The thieves had already gone. |
| [01:10.480] |
But George's parrot, Henry, was still there. |
| [01:14.840] |
'What's up, George?' he called. |
| [01:17.640] |
'Nothing, Henry,' George said and smiled. |
| [01:20.760] |
'Go back to sleep.'^“ |
