An old woman was sleeping
in her apartment in San Francisco
when she heard the sound of
breaking glass. She walked into her
living room and saw a burglar. They
were both very surprised! The
73-year-old woman offered the
burglar food and then they started
chatting. She was showing him her
family photos when he fell asleep.
So what did she do next? She
called the police!

Lily Foster was watching TV
when her phone rang. She got up
from her chair and answered the
phone in the next room. She was
talking on the phone when a lorry
crashed into her house. The lorry
destroyed her sitting room, her
TV, and her chair! And the phone
call? It was a wrong number!
The world is a very strange place. Read these amazing true stories.

A woman was playing with her
cat in her apartment when it fell
out of the window. Jamie Baldwin
was walking in the street below
when the cat landed on him – and
it was safe! But that wasn’t the end
of the story. One year later, Jamie
was walking along the same street
in Detroit when he heard a noise.
He looked up ... and he caught the
same cat!
