The moon was out in the night sky as Sam walked towards home after doing assignment in his friend's house nearby. It was a quiet and pleasant evening.
As Sam walked past a tree he saw two men climbing over the fence of a house. The occupants of the house were probably not in as the lights were not switched on.
Knowing that the two men were obviously burglars up to no good, Sam ran quickly to a telephone booth nearby and called the police.
A patrol car with two policemen in it responded to Sam's call for help. They hurried to the scene.
The two bad-hats were caught red-handed trying to break into the house. The two men were handcuffed and escorted into the patrol car to be taken to the police station. All they got for their efforts were trouble with the law.
Vocabulary
