Question

It was Sunday afternoon. My brother and I were alone at home. My parents went out. I was doing my homework while my younger brother was watching TV. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Ding-Dong! My brother thought that it was our parents， so he opened the quickly.

A tall man wearing a black raincoat stood outside. He said that he came to sell books and asked politely if our parents were at home.

Without thinking， my brother said，" No." Then the man asked if we would like to some story books. I refused him. When I wanted to close the door， he suddenly pushed the door very hard and came into our house. He took out a and ordered me to tie up my brother's hands with a rope (绳子). I tied up his hands in a special way so my brother could untie (解开) easily. The man then tied my hands up and locked of us in the kitchen. Soon， he went upstairs to money. I taught my brother to untie the rope on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police， _ the line was dead. The doors were all locked from the outside. It was lucky that the man forgot to lock the kitchen window. We got out of the house through the kitchen window and to the pay phone to call the police. Soon came to our house and the man was caught. By that time， my parents had come home. We told them the whole story. My parents were that we were not hurt. They told me that I should stop my brother from opening the door to strangers. I learnt a lesson on safety.
