A thief

t was a full moon night. A thief was getting ready to steal something from a village’s house.

He got to the house, and then went inside quietly. By the moonlight outside, he had entered a dark room. He could not even see his own hands or feet. But on the wall near the roof, there was a ventilator. The moon crreated a circle of light on it. The thief brought a cloth with him in order to get together all the things he hoped to steal. He spread it out on the floor and went inside the storeroom, where all the things were kept.

He did not know it but the owner of the house was awake and watching. As soon as the thief went inside the storeroom, he got up quickly from his bed, and picked up the cloth which the thief had spread out. He came back to his bed, which was in one dark coner of the room, and waited for the thief to come out.

At the same time, the thief went on collecting the things he wanted and threw them on the floor where he knew he had spread out the cloth. Soon there was a little mountain in the centre of the room. Then the thief looked around for the ends of the cloth to tie up the stolen things. At that time, the house owner let out a big groan—a deep groan. The thief was so scared that he hurried to run away. the thief not only failed to steal, but also he lot his cloth.
