The Burglar’s Friend
His parents were fast asleep in bed


It was 3 o’clock in the morning when four-year-old Russell Brown woke up to go to the bathroom.
His parents were fast asleep in bed .but when he heard a noise in the living room and saw a light was on, he went downstairs.
There he found two men they asked him his name and told him they were friends of the family.
Unfortunately, Russell believed them. They asked him where the VCR and TV were. Russell showed them and said they had a stereo and CD player, too.
The two men carried these to the kitchen. Russell also told them that his mother kept her wallet in a drawer in the kitchen, so they took that. Russell even gave them his pocket money_50 cents.
They finally left at 4 A.M. they said, “Will you open the back door while we take these things to the car, because we don’t want to wake mommy and daddy, ok?” so Russell help the door open for them. He then went back to bed.
His parents didn’t know about the burglary until they got up the next day his father said,” I couldn’t be angry with Russell because he thought he was doing the right things.”
Fortunately, the police caught the two burglars last week.
