Welcome Stranger
It was a dark and windy night. The wind howled and the rain beat down.
Harry and his wife were in bed. Although Harry slept through the storm, his wife woke up. She lay in bed, unable to sleep, listening to the noise of the storm.
Suddenly she heard a different noise. It sounded like someone tapping on the window.
She was very frightened. She woke her husband up.
"Harry," she whispered, "there's someone outside. Listen."
"It's nothing," he said, "just a branch of a tree tapping against the window in the wind. Go back to sleep."
He turned over and went back to sleep.
The tapping continued. It got louder and louder, then the window began to rattle.
Harry's wife woke him up again.
"Harry, it isn't just the wind. There's somebody there. I know there is. Get up and look."
Harry got out of bed and walked across the room to the window. He polled the curtain a little and looked out. He saw a man standing on a ladder outside the window. He smiled at the man and then went back to bed.
"Well?" his wife asked. "Was there anyone there?"
"Yes," Harry said. "There's a burglar trying to get in."
"Then do something!" his wife cried. "Phone the police."
"Not yet," Harry said. "Wait until he opens the window. I've been' trying to get it open since we had the house painted last year."
