Digest No.9 A Lucky Catch

One day, when Anand was walking down to the nearby newspaper stall to get his paper, he heard a boy holding newspapers shouting:

"Extra!! Prisoner Bala has escaped!! Extra!!"! Anand walked up to him, asked him for a copy, and then he walked home with the paper. He opened in up at his house, and he read:

'Prisoner Bala, a mass murderer who was arrested last year for attempting to kill the president, has escaped. He escaped around midnight, so he mostly still lurking around the city area. If yoo see him, you are requested to call the police immediately.'

At that moment, Anand got terrified. He was scared of Bala. Even looking at his picture made him want to run to Australia and hibernate forever. And now that he escaped, Anand started sweating so much, it looked like his head was the source of the Niagara Falls, and his eyes started becoming red, as red as the devil himself.

5 days later... Anand was having his evening walk, when he walked past a tree. He thought he could hear something from the tree. He looked up and he saw a little kitten.

'Awww' Anand thought, so he started climbing up the tree. While he was climbing, he saw a policeman. Anand could not recognize him, but he looked familiar. He climed all the way to a very thin branch. That was where the kitten was. But the problem was that the branch looked so thin, it probably could not handle his weight. But he decided to go on it anyway, and so he did. By this time, the policeman he saw earlier was standing right below the tree, he looked around to make sure that no one could see him, then he looked up. He saw Anand.

The policeman pulled out a gun, and pointed it right at Anand's head.

"Listen to me. Throw down all your cash, and no one gets hurt". Anand looked down, and then it struck him.

"Your Bala, aren't you?" "Yes, I am. Now throw down all your riches and I will leave you alone." Anand was horrified. Anand rapped his hands around the branch , and he lay down. By doing so, he accidently shook the branch quite violently. The kitten fell down on Bala's face, and the branch itself caved in, and the branch with Anand on it fell down on Bala. Right a that moment, real policemen were happening to pass by when they noticed the little incident.

They ran over, and when they noticed Bala's face, they handcuffed him, and took him away. But before they took his away, they told Anand he would get a huge reward, and they took Bala away. What good luck!!
