The hailstones were the size of tennis balls, and they hurt me badly. I managed to hide under a tree, but I was still hit by some of them.

The servant put the boat into a tank of water on the table. I spent many hours in this boat. One day, however, a frog jumped out of the water into the boat.

It was quite late at night. I was reading a newspaper alone in my room when I heard someone knocking at the door. I opened it and saw a young man with glasses standing there. He said that he was a friend of my brother’s and wanted to have a talk with him. I didn’t know if my brother had such a friend, but I had to let him in.
As we talked, I found that he knew nothing about my brother. Then I came to know that his words were not true. Suddenly my brother came in and the young man was so surprised that he didn’t know what to do for a moment. We caught the man and called the police at the same time.
