We managed to persuade our parents to    33     us go in-line skating on our own.   34     it soon started to rain and we had to seek shelter on the empty deck (place) of a block of flats. It really dampened my     35    .

Suddenly, we heard a    36     and saw a man dashing out of a lift. Just as he ran   37      us, we saw an old woman coming out of the same lift and crying, “Thief! Thief!” My cousin immediately went after the thief in his    38     . To be honest, I was extremely    39     at the beginning .Then I heard a honk. It was my uncle and aunt. I jumped into their car and told them about the robbery. We   40    off in the thief’s direction while my aunt stayed with the old woman.

We handed the thief over to the police officers who took down our names and    48   . They informed us that we would be called up to give our   49    . After that, we returned to the empty deck in our uncle’s car to  50     my aunt up .
