A Burglary

It was a dark and spooky night. “Ding, dong…” the clock struck twelve midnight. The shining stars gazed at the earth unblinking. A masked burglar crept steathily into Mr. Kim’s bungalow. The burglar had an unkempt dressing, a scar on his forehead and was thin and tall. He pried opened the side door’s lock skillfully. He had successfully broken in! He crept up into Mr. Kim’s bedroom to make sure both Mr. Kim and his wife were asleep.

Then, he went into the living room and started ransacking the place using a torch. He searched the drawers, then the cabinets. He searched and searched but to no avail. So he went to the other side of the room. But on his way there, his light on his torch went off. Just then, he tripped over the cord of a telephone, causing the whole telephone to drop onto the floor. He also fell down. “Crash!” they made a loud sound altogether. Mr. Kim woke up, startled. He went out to see what had caused the sound. He was trembling all over.

When he saw the burglar, his jaw dropped and he thought his heart had stopped beating. Still, he acted fast. He soon thwarted the burglar. His wife, who had heard the noise, woke up. She called the police.

In a twinkling of an eye, the sirens of the police could be heard. Suddenly, the burglar broke free! He ran out of the house. But unfortunately, the officers had been waiting in front of the house in case the burglar tried to escape, and he did! The burglar was arrested and spent most of his life in jail.
