At noon that day, I drove back to my house. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a slight sound coming from the bedroom upstairs---it was the sound of my favorite violin.
“Thief!”
I rushed upstairs. Just as expected, a boy of about 12 was petting my violin. At fisrt sight, I found a new pair of shoes by the bed missing. It seemed he was surely a thief.

The boy was surprised, but then quickly replied, “Has my uncle gone out I think I’d better go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much ”
“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it, ”the boy replied.
“Then, I give this violin to you,”The boy couldn’t believe these words, but he picked up the violin. Going out of the living room,he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo. He shook for a moment and ran out without looking back.

With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction,riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm.With a rappidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road.
