Lesson 20 Key Conversation Did You Hear That?

Brenda: (whispering) Jerry! Jerry, wake up! I think I heard someone in the house!

Jerry: Huh? What's the problem? Why aren't you asleep?

Brenda: Shh! I think an intruder has broken into the house. Do something!

Jerry: What do you want me to do? Give me your phone. I'll call 911, and the police will be here soon.

Brenda: Shh, listen! Did you hear that? Go look and see!

Jerry: The worst thing to do is to surprise a burglar. The police will be here soon. Let them do their job. Hopefully, they'll catch the burglar red-handed.

Brenda: What if they clean us out?

Jerry: Don't worry; we're insured. Listen! Sirens… it's the police! Have you ever seen anyone being caught red-handed? Well, now's the time.

Brenda: We'd do better to stay out of the way. Whoever they are, they're probably already on the run. Besides, what if they're armed?

Jerry: Hey, you have no faith in our police force! Besides, you were just telling ME to go and take a look! C'mon! Let's go and watch!
