Sam woke up suddenly. Someone was moving around in the next room. “Maybe it’s grandmother, getting a drink of water,” he told himself. But the next room was the living room. It wasn’t near the kitchen. Sam’s parents were away,"and"there was only his grandmother in the house with him. He looked at his watch. It was three thirty! Too early for grandmother to get up!
He got out of bed"and"opened the door very quietly. The window was open. A man was standing near it"and"looking in the desk drawers. Grandmother kept her money"and"papers in there! He thought quickly. Yes, the radio! He turned it on"and"a man’s voice filled the room. The thief felt afraid"and"jumped out of the window"and"down two floors to the ground. He gave a shout.
Grandmother was awake"and"she called the police at once. The thief couldn’t get up, because his leg was badly hurt. When the police came, they were very pleased. “Well done, Sam,” said the policeman. “This man is a well-known thief.”
