[00:07.280]--- Listen to the tape then answer this question.
[00:12.720]--- Who called out to the thieves in the dark?
[00:18.360]Do you like stories?
[00:20.320]I want to tell you a true story.
[00:23.640]It happened to a friend of mine a year ago.
[00:27.400]While my friend, George, was reading in bed, two thieves climbed into his kitchen.
[00:34.800]After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room.
[00:40.400]It was very dark, so they turned on a torch.
[00:45.440]Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them.
[00:49.280]'What's up? What's up?' someone called.^“
[00:53.120]The thieves dropped the torch and ran away as quickly as they could.
[00:58.280]George heard the noise and came downstairs quickly.
[01:02.840]He turned on the light, but he couldn't see anyone.
[01:07.520]The thieves had already gone.
[01:10.480]But George's parrot, Henry, was still there.
[01:14.840]'What's up, George?' he called.
[01:17.640]'Nothing, Henry,' George said and smiled.
[01:20.760]'Go back to sleep.'^“
