Last night somebody broke into our neighbor’s house. He stole everything he found. The neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Umar, saw him while he was running away but they couldn’t catch him. This morning an inspector arrived to make an inquiry.

The Inspector posed certain questions to Mr. Umar.

The Inspector The thief broke into the house at around 10 p.m. What were you doing then?
Mr. Umar I was watching a movie with my wife. Then I went to the kitchen to prepare tea.
The Inspector How many minutes did you spend in the kitchen?
Mr. Umar I think 10 or 15 minutes… I’m not sure….
The Inspector Did you prepare tea?
Mr. Umar Yes
The Inspector OK. Thanks.

The Inspector also asked Mrs. Umar some questions:

The Inspector What were you doing at around 10 pm yesterday?
Mrs. Umar I was watching a movie while drinking my coffee.
The Inspector Coffee? But your husband prepared tea.
Mrs. Umar Tea? No… We didn’t drink tea last night.
The Inspector OK. What was he doing in the kitchen?
Mrs. Umar He was thirsty. He wanted to drink water.
The Inspector Hmmm. What happened then?
Mrs. Umar A friend of his called him and he went out to help him.
The Inspector So, you were alone at home, weren’t you?
Mrs. Umar Yes, I was. I called him immediately but he didn’t answer. 

The inspector was suspicious about Mr.Umar, so he asked him to come to the station for further questioning.

The Inspector You weren’t at home when the thief broke into your neighbour’s house. Where were you?
Mr. Umar I went out to help a friend of mine
The Inspector Who is that friend?
Mr. Umar Ehhhh… he is just a friend.
The Inspector Hmmm. Who is that friend?
Mr. Umar I told you already. He is just a friend.
The Inspector

If you cannot prove that you were with a friend, we can arrest you.

At the end of the questioning session, Mr.Umar told the inspector the truth.

“Last night, somebody called me, but he wasn’t my friend. I had borrowed some money from him and he had given me time till last night to return it. But I did not do so. So, he called me and asked me to meet him outside the house. That’s why I went out. I did not tell my wife as I did not want her to know about it. When I went out, I saw a stranger entering my neighbour’s house but I did not stop as I was in a hurry to meet the moneylender.
