Evening was creeping in when little Oliver heard odd noises coming from his parents bedroom. The moment he pushed the door open, he froze in shock.
There was a strange tension behind the doorsoft but unsettling sounds that prickled his nerves. Suddenly, he remembered his school lesson: *”If youre scared, dial 999.”* With shaky fingers, he grabbed the phone.
“999, whats your emergency?” the operator asked.
“II hear weird noises from my parents room. Please come quick!” Oliver stammered.
Before you could say “bobbies on the beat,” the police arrived, accompanied by their sharp-nosed police dog, Rex. Rex trotted straight to the door, sniffing like hed caught a whiff of something fishy.
As the officers tried to open the door, Rex let out a thunderous bark, beating them to it. When they finally stepped inside, the sight left them gobsmacked.
The room was eerily quiet, save for a faint rustling. Olivers parents, Daniel and Emily, were acting oddlyDaniel stood stiff as a board while Emily clutched something indistinct in her hands.
Rex zeroed in on the mysterious object, barking frantically to warn the officers. One officer carefully took it from Emily and, after a quick inspection, gaspedit was an explosive device! With steady hands, he disarmed it before anyone could blink.
The police confiscated the device and whisked the family to the station to unravel how it ended up in their home. After questioning, it turned out Daniel and Emily were completely innocentthe bomb had accidentally been left there by their neighbour during a bizarre mix-up.
And just like that, Olivers quick thinking saved the day.
Moral of the story: Love your parents and look out for them. Theyre the only ones wholl put up with your nonsenseand maybe even your neighbours misplaced explosives.
