Question

Coke arrived at a lonely house, but he didn’t go into the room. He listened for a moment but he could not hear anything at all. “Why is it so quiet? Are the police waiting for me in there?” he asked himself. He went to the front door and pushed it. To his surprise, it was open! He went in very quietly. The room was clean, small and very warm.

Suddenly Coke froze. There was someone else in the room. He could feel it! He turned around quickly and, at the same time, put his hand on his pocket. There was a small knife there. He saw an old woman. She had a dish in her hands and there was a sweet smell of meat and vegetables. She did not look afraid. She did not even look surprised.

“I’m sorry,” She said, and put the dish down on the table. Coke could hardly believe his ears. Here he was, a stranger in her house and yet she said she was sorry!

“I’m sorry,” she said again. “I didn’t hear you. People often come to the door and knock, but I don’t hear them. I’m glad you came in.”
