One night a hotel caught fire,and the people who were staying in it ran 1 out in their night clothes. Two men stood2 outside and looked at the fire. "Before I came3 out," said4 one,"I ran into some of the rooms and found5 a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone6 leaves7 paper money in a fire, the fire burns8 it. So I took9 all the bills10 that I could11 find.No one will be poorer because I took them." "You don't know my work?" said the other. "What is your work?" "I'm a policeman. "Oh!" cried the first man. He thought12 quickly and said,"And do you know my work?""No,"said the policeman. "I'm a writer13. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened."
