Do you know that an 11-year-old girl

was almost kidnapped in the

neighbourhood? It was a close shave.
Someone heard her screaming and came
to rescue her. They caught the man and
sent him to the police station.

Mrs. Tan
Oh no! What a terrible thing to happen.

May Lee
Indeed it is. Now I’m worried for you
and grandma. I shall be working late
tomorrow. Please lock all the door and
windows. Do not let anybody into the
house.

Mrs. Tan
Okay, mother. Don’t worry
about us.

May Lee
Good girl. I will be calling
you from time to time to make
sure you and grandma are
safe.

Mrs. Tan
Okay. Will dad be home early
tomorrow?

May Lee
Unfortunately he won’t. He
will be leaving on a business
trip to Singapore. He will only
back on Friday.

Mrs. Tan
Don’t worry, mother. I have a
black belt in karate-do. I can
take care of myself and
grandma.
