Last Sunday turned out to be more exciting than I had expected. We were at our grandparents’ house for a visit as 31 . My cousin and I had made an appointment to go in-line skating in the nearby park. He could do some neat stunts (特技)and had promised to show me 32 .
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.
Soon, we 41 up with my cousin. He was still in hot pursuit of the thief. Seeing his 42 , my uncle sped up and turned suddenly to the right to 43 just in front of the thief. The man was 44 and fell to the ground. My uncle got out of the car and 45 the man down with his body.
By this time, we could hear the siren of a police car approaching, 46 , my aunt had phoned the police and told them the 47 in which we were heading, so they were able to locate us .
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 .
When we reached there, the old woman had already left to give a report to the police. Our family members were all proud of us for our courageous deed.
