BR 2-14: The Jewellery Shop Robbery. (Reilly, 2007)

"The jewellery robbers are next door" (Reilly, 2007, p.14)

Eddie is a boy who is a student. When he was walking home from school, he was a lot of people outside the jewellery shop. He asked a woman what's going on. She said that the jewellery shop has been robbed and they took all jewellery. After he came home and watching TV. It said that people on the street had seen the men get away in a red car. When Eddie came home from school, he saw a red car parked outside the empty house next door. He thought that it must be the jewellery shop robber.

After that, he went outside to see a red car and the house next door. The red car was still parked there. And he heard a noise from the empty house. He looked inside this house, there were two men sitting at a table. And they were taking jewellery. Eddie was very surprised that.

Eddie moved away and he ran down the path. He said 'Mum, Mum! Call the police! The jewellery robbers are next door!' to his mother. But she didn't believe first what he said. Eddie talked his mother that it really true. She could see that he was not making it up and she called the police.

The police came to the house and they took the robbers away. The police said to Eddie 'You are going to make a good detective one day.'

I thought Eddie was a very brave boy. When he knew that the robber may still be the empty house, he went out quickly. If he didn't go, they didn't take away. I think he became very famouse boy in his school and his town. He saved his hometown!
