He sat with his typewriter in front of him. But he had no idea. So he decided to go to the cinema. When he came back, he found that he had a visitor. Someone had broken into his house. The man had had a drink, smoked several cigarettes, and had read his story. The visitor left Tom a note: “I have read your story and I don’t think much of it. Please read my suggestions and then you can finish it. By the way, I am a thief. I’m not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a successful writer, I’ll return!” Tom read the man’s suggestions. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story. He is still not a successful writer. And he is waiting for the man to return. Before he goes out in the evening, he always leaves a half-finished story near his typewriter.
