Tom Smith was a writer. He wrote detective (偵探）stories for magazines. One evening he could not find an end for a story. He sat with his typewriter(打字機(jī)）in front of him,but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema.

When he came back,he found that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his house. The man had had a drink,smoked several of Tom’s cigarettes,and had read his story. The visitor left Tom a note ：

“I have read your story and I don’t think much of it. Please read my suggestions and then you can finish it. By the way,I am a burglar(盜賊）,and I am not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a successful writer,I will return! ”

Tom read the burglar’s suggestions. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story. He is still not a successful writer,and he is waiting for his burglar to return. Before he goes out in the evening,he always leaves a half-finished story near his typewriter.
