It was way past midnight and the Lim family was
in their rooms, already in dreamland. Unknown to
them, two masked figures were trying to open
their front door. They fiddled with it for a few
minutes but were unsuccessful. They went round
the back. one of the windows was slightly
opened. The shorter of the two squeezed in and
opened it fully. Both were now in the house.
Creeping quietly through the house, they
collected as many valuable things as they could
and dumped them into a big bag they had with
them. They then went tiptoeing up the stairs to
the bedrooms. From the study room they carted
away the laptop computer. In the master bedroom,
they took all the valuables they could lay their
hands on. Suddenly, a loud snore from Mr Lim
startled the two and made them rush out at once.
In their haste they tripped on the steps and
landed in a heap at the bottom of the stairs.
The noise woke up the Lims and the two were
quickly caught. That was a close shave for the
Lim family ! |
