After a while the phone rang.
“Ring Ring “
“Oh no the phone oh well i have to let ring”
“thump thump “
“What was that it must have came from up stairs i think will go have a look” He said
So John went to go have a look up stairs.
“look at this I’m rich” said the robber yelling
John got scared and ran down stairs “oh no what am I’m going to do“
“I need rope and a net but maybe i can call the police but maybe they won’t believe me“
So John ran outside and looked every wear high and low.
“I don’t seem to find it wait maybe in the shed” he said
So John ran to the shed as fast as he can.
“Now where could it be ah there it is” John grabbed the rope and net and inside the house.
“Ok I got the string now all I have to do is to tie it to door and yell out hey you over there and run down stairs when he falls over I’ll chuck the net on him and put on the skate board and push him all the way to the police station and I’ll be a hero.”
