went inside. To their surprise, the safe was already open. “Wow! We are so lucky,” they whispered and
quickly filled their bags with gold, silver, and money. Suddenly, the lights came on. A man stood there
with a gun. “Caught you!” he shouted. The thieves tried to run, but the doors were locked. The man
called the police, and the thieves were arrested.

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
