Mr Robinson died, and after that only Mrs Robinson lived in their small house. She was very old.

Her son John lived with his wife and child in another street, and he often said to his mother, “You must come and live with us,” but she always answered, “No, I'm very happy in my little house, and I don't want to leave it.”

At eight o'clock one morning the old woman telephoned her son and said, “Please come to my house.” Then she put the phone down.

John's wife said, “Who was that?”

“It was Mother,” he answered.

“What did she want?”

“She wants me. Perhaps she's ill. I'll take the car and go to work from her house.” He took his car out and drove to his mother's house quickly.

When the old woman opened the door, her son said, “What's the matter. Mother?”

“Come in,” she answered. “There's a thief in one of my cupboards.”

“A thief in one of your cupboards?” said John. “When did you find him?”

“I heard noises in a cupboard yesterday evening,” she answered.

“Which one?” John asked quietly. They were in the diningroom now.

“That one,” the old woman answered.

“Why didn't you telephone me then?” John asked.

“Because it was late, and I didn't want to trouble you,” she answered.
