 A nasty experience

by John G. 

Last Sunday morning me and my family went to our village. We set off late in the morning, but "better late than never",  I thought. On our way to the village we saw a strange man who was as tall as a tree. When we arrived at the village we faced something bad, the housedoor was opened. It was as clear as crystal that the house had been broken into. My father called the police immediately, but it took them a long time to come because they were as busy as bees. When we looked around to see what was missing things got worse and worse. The house had been damaged by the thieves. That was by far the worst Sunday of my life.
