Our Side of the Mountain

THE BANK ROBBERY

It was a night that no one will forget. It was windy and rainy. All of a sudden the power went out. Everyone was scared. We lit candles. The bank alarm was ringing. Someone screamed. There was a face in the window. A large, angry looking man burst through the back door. He had a gun in his hand. He made us all go into one room. He made Sandy tie the rest of us up. Someone had turned on the battery- operated radio. We heard that the bank had been robbed. Was this the bank robber? The man panicked when he heard a noise and he took Sandy hostage. Sandy tackled the robber. They fell to the floor. We didn’t realize that Jackie had managed to get free. While the robber was trying to get up, Jackie hit him with a candlestick. Sandy grabbed the gun and got Jackie to tie up the robber. When the robber was tied up, Sandy and Jackie untied the rest of us and called the police. The next day the story was in the newspapers. It was the big story of the day. Best of all we collected the $2000.00 reward.
