Hi Ibrahim! Guess what? On Saturday I saw a store detective catch some thieves! In the sports shop near us, there were some trainers which I really wanted. For months, I saved money. Finally, on Saturday Dad and I went to buy them. Dad and I were waiting for the shop assistant when a man and a woman came into the shop. We saw them put some expensive trainers into their bags before the shop assistant came out of the storeroom with the trainers for me. They were thieves! I didn’t know what to do. Then I noticed the woman nearby. She took out her purse, which had a lot of money in it. She opened her purse and counted the money loudly. The thieves watched her. Then she dropped her purse! As she walked away, she kicked it into the storeroom. The thieves went straight into the storeroom to get the purse. Then the woman suddenly came back, quickly shut the storeroom door, and shouted for help. It turned out the woman was a store detective! The police came and took the thieves away! Can you imagine? From, Tareq
