I will never forget the day I got caught pinching apples off the
|
|
|
picked
|
neighbour's tree. I had
 the apples quite a few times, |
|
|
|
but I had never been caught, untill now. I had climbed our
|
|
|
|
fence and was picking apples from the tree at the back and
|
|
|
|
tucking them into my sweatshirt when everythink went wrong.
|
|
|
|
I heard a truck in the driveway. Our neighbour, Mr Johns, was
|
|
|
|
home early from work. I didn't know what to do. If I jumped
|
|
|
|
to the ground he would hear me. I froze. What coud I do?
|
|
|
|
I decided to hide among the leaves of the tree. I watched as
|
|
|
|
Mr Johns walked arownd the side of the house towards the back
|
|
|
|
door. I was holding my breath. My luck held as Mr Johns
|
|
|
|
unlocked his door and began to step inside. Suddenley the
|
|
|
|
apples began to slide from my sweatshirt. I tryd to grab them
|
|
|
|
but the movement only made more apples fall.
|
|
|
|
They hit the ground in a series of thuds. Mr Johns turnd and
|
|
|
|
saw me. He began to swear at me. I jumped down and started
|
|
|
|
to run but he caught me and dragged me inside. After yelling
|
|
|
|
at me, he took me home and told my parants. They yelled at me
|
|
|
|
too! I don't like apples so much anymore, especially the ones
|

|
|
I can see through my bedroom winder.
