Question 5 (#6)

During the Hanukkah celebration, the people in the annex hears a rattling of the door. They turn off the lights and they become silent. They quietly take their shoes off and try to listen to hear who came in. It was a burglar but they were all unsure of who it would be. So Mr. Frank went downstairs carefully but the thief had already fled. But soon when Mr. Frank finally found out about what happened, he saw the front door flung open and so he went towards it but there was a night watch man walking along the street and he caught sight of the door too. Mr. Frank was able to quickly hide behind the door while the watch man looked in to see if anyone was there. It was a really close one for Mr. Frank. The night watch man came out of the house and found two guards and at that moment Mr. Frank quickly ran up the stairs. To make things worse Peter and Anne had followed Mr. Frank but Anne fainted so Peter had to carry her up and all three of them went into the annex again. The guards searched through the work place to see if anyone was there. They came across the book shelf and became very suspicious because they kept hearing noises from the top floor. There was a loud crash and a meow so they just laughed and said it was just a cat and went back down the stairs and out of the work place. The people in the annex were so relieved. Mr. Dussel, however, believed that because of the noises, the guards will catch the thief. The thief will give information about the noises upstairs if the guards will let him go. Mr. Dussel believed that the thief will give a ransom for telling the guards that there are people hiding in the annex. I think that, that wont happen and that everyone is thinking too much and worrying too much about what would happen to them.
