Do you like stories? I want to tell you a true story. It happened to a friend
of mine a year ago.#
While my friend, George, was reading in bed, two thieves climbed into his
kitchen.#
After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room. It was very
dark, so they turned on a torch.#
Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. 'What's up? What's up?' someone
called. The thieves dropped the torch and ran away as quickly as they could.#
George heard the noise and came downstairs quickly.#
He turned on the light, but he couldn't see anyone. The thieves had already
gone.#
But George's parrot, Henry, was still there. 'What's up, George?' the called.
'Nothing, Henry,' George said and smiled. 'Go back to sleep.'&
