READING COMPREHENSION

PAST SIMPLE
Yesterday my wife and I went to a restaurant. It was a romantic
evening. But at eleven o'clock, the lights went out. We heard a lot
of screams. We didn't know what to do. We wanted to go out.
Suddenly, a man appeared and said: 'Stay there!' He was a thief.
He had a gun in his hands. There was* another man beside him.
We gave them our money. After ten minutes, the police arrived
and they caught the thieves. But we never recovered our money!
