THE EXCITING EVENING

Last year one night, I was going from school to home.It was about 9.30 p.m. since I had to stay at the school some works. During the day, I had studied without break. Therefore, I felt so exhausted that I wasn't able to see even houses, clearly. Suddenly, it came to my notice that someone was standing in front of the Yılmaz's house. At first, I thought he was an expected guest who came to visit them. On the contrary, he was an uninvited guest for them. That mysterious man was trying to set their houseon fire. It wasn't a dream. I was able to make out his action, clearly. As soon as I realized that he intended to set the house on fire, I started to shout to him. When he heard my scream, he wanted to escape from there. He didn't manage to do at the first attempt and fell down, clumsily. But then he was able to stand up and began to run away. Even though I wanted to chase him, my tiredness was an obstacle for it. It just so happens, a police car was driving on the sama street, at that time. The police noticing the dangerous situation, startad to run after the guilty man. In thet circumstances, the man managed to get away with it. Everybody who heard the noise was in the street, then. Especially Yılmaz and his family were really panic-stricken. Someone must have wanted to kill them by the look of it. Having been questioned by the police, I went back home. However, I couldn't sleep well at that night. Afterwards,order was restored again, as for the strange man, he is still on the run.
