The Burglars'Friends

The Burglars’ Friends

It was 3 o’clock in the morning when four-year-old Russell Brown woke up to go to the toilet. His parents were fast asleep in bed. But when he heard a noise in the living room and saw a light was on, he went downstairs. There he found two men. They asked him his name, and told him they were friends of family. Unfortunately, Russell believed them. They asked him where the video recorder was. Russell showed them, and said they had a stereo and CD player too. The two men carried these to the kitchen. Russell also tell them that his mother kept her purse in a drawer in the kitchen, so they took that. Russell even gave them his pocket money-50p. They finally left at 4 a.m. They said, ‘Will you open the back door while we take these things to the car, because we don’t want to wake up Mummy and Daddy, do we?’ So Russell held the door open for them. He then went back to bed. His parents didn’t know about the burglary until they got up the next day. His father said I couldn’t be angry with Russell because he thought he was doing the right thing. Fortunately, the police caught the two burglars last week.
