  • This is John and this is Sue.
  • John and Sue are out fishing one day.
  • Suddenly, two police officers pull up in a boat.
  • "Oh, no; let's get out of here!" says John.
  • They run to an old abandoned cottage.
  • "Let's hide in here!"
  • "Where can we hide?" asked John.
  • "We could hide in that box..." suggested Sue.
  • "Or we could hide under the bed..."
  • "Or we could hide behind the curtain."
  • "We can't hide in that box." said John.
  • "It's too small."
  • "And we can't hide under the bed."
  • "It's too short!"
  • "We'll have to hide behind the curtains."
  • So they hide behind the curtain.
  • Then the police find the cabin.
  • "Where could they be hiding?"
  • "They could be hiding in that box..."
  • "Or they could be under the bed..."
  • "Or they could be behind the curtain."
  • "Well, they can't be inside the box."
  • "It's too small!"
  • "And they can't be under the bed."
  • "It's too short!"
  • "They must behind that curtain."
  • So the police officers check behind the curtain.
  • But John and Sue have escaped out of the window!
  • "Oh no!" cries the officer. "Now how are we going to return their lost wallet?!?"
