"Ring........."the school bell rang,signaling the end of the last period.I picked up my bulging schoolbag and made a dash for the gate.It had been a tiring day and all I wanted was a good,long nap on my comfortable bed.I walked quickly back home, unaware of what was in store for me.
The lift gave an awkward jerk when it reached the eighth storey and I paced out of it.Just as I was about to unlock the main door of my house,I heard the voices of two people,two men perhaps.I walked towards the bend leading to the other units and was shocked to see two men who were wearing what seemed to be printed shirts belonging to the elderly standing in front of my neighbour,Mr and Mrs Chan's flat."This does not seem to be the one."a loud,booming voice rang out of the mouth of the man who was struggling with the doorknob of the door,using a bunch of keys.
"What should I do?Mr and Mrs Chan can't be those two wierd looking men there,they have gone to work.If not,who can those two men be?Robbers?"I thought worriedly in my mind.Just then,one of the keys fitted into the doorknob and the two men went into the flat."They must have stolen Mr Chan's keys!"I said out pointedly after the two men had closed the door behind them.Shocked by the scene in front of me,it took me a whole five minutes to decide what to do next,to call the police.
I rushed into my flat, picked up the cordless phone and dialed "999".When someone picked up the receiver on the other end,I began to relate what I had just witnessed to him and ended by telling him my address.In approximately 5 minutes, I heard a knock on my door and immediately began showing the policemen outside my door the way to Mr and Mrs Chan's flat.As I had been taking note of any movement inside the flat through my window,I was very sure that the robbers had not left.
"Crash!"a loud crash was heard when the policemen forced open the door and the door was detached from its hinge.I saw the two men being led out of the house,however,looking puzzled instead of guilty.
"WHAT?Us?Robbers?We have been asked by Mr Chan to pick up the toolbox which he had accidentally left behind in the house due to his hurry to go to work in the morning.There!Our keys here were given by Mr Chan to us personally.We are his workers! "the man wearing the purple printed tee cried out.Knowing that Mr Chan worked as the boss in a small company which helped its customers to fix their worn out furniture,I was not surprised that Mr Chan would need his toolbox while working.However, how did these "robbers"know about Mr Chan's occupation?
After the policemen had given a call to Mr Chan himself,they realised that what the "robbers" said were true. They let the two men,who were looking quite grim, out of their firm grip and went back looking very annoyed.Appologising,I went back into my flat with cheeks as red as tomatoes which had just ripened.I had learnt a very important lesson after making a total clown out of myself,"Always get the facts straight before doing anything rash."
