A robbery at the Museum
386477, Hello!
Hi, Tom. This is Roccona. Do you still remember me?
Oh, it’s lovely to hear you! How’s things? Well, not too bad, but I need your help. Don’t know if you remember I work for the National Museum of Arts and History. Well, yesterday there was a robbery...
Oh, was there? Do you have any clue who it can be? Er... The only thing we found is a note and a photograph...
Why would the robber leave that? What does the note say? There are 5 words, but nobody understands what they mean.
What about the picture? It’s the picture of a town that looks familiar to me. I sent a letter to friends who live there and asked them to help us find out.
Well, then, I’d better contact them. Can you give me their phone number?
Sure, hold on a second...

My name is Peter. It was almost nine o’clock, time to open the Coffee Shop. A man carrying a lot of newspapers was waiting at the door. He immediately came in and sat at a table.

My name’s Gina. I’m a bank clerk. A customer who wanted to change some money came the other day. He had to wait for half an hour; the computer went off!
