The poor little girl was tired and hungry in the forest. She walked through the forest, hoping to find something to eat because she didn’t want to die. Then she found a little house and thought it must be a woodman’s house and she might be able to stay there. So she knocked at the door. As there was no answer, she opened it and went inside. There she saw a room with a long table. On it there were seven knives and forks, seven plates and drinking cups, and on the plates and in the cups were food and drink. The little girl was too hungry to turn away from the food, and so she took a little from each plate and each cup. At the other end of the room, there were seven little beds. She tried to lie on some of them, and when she found a very nice one, she fell into a deep sleep, for she was very tired after a long walk through the forest.
Mr. Smith is telling two funny stories of his police work. I remember catching a “thief” in a clothes shop once. It was strange. The man was hiding a yellow sweater inside his coat. I thought he had stolen it, so I caught him. We found later that his wife gave him the sweater for his birthday, but he hated it. He just wanted to return it to the shop for money, but he didn’t want his wife to see him! We soon let him go. Another day, a man called Bob went into a bank on Sixth Street. He wrote on the back of an envelope, “Give me the money! Or I’ll kill you. ” and gave it to the bank clerk. She gave him $100,000 and the man ran away. Then we received a phone call from the bank clerk. She told us to go to the man’s house in Candy Town and get him. We caught him as soon as he got out of the elevator. He couldn’t believe that we found him so quickly. We told him that the front of the envelope he used had his name and address on it!
