The Story "A thief in my house''

Yesterday's night my mom went to the supermarket to buy some tomatoes so I stayed in my home alone waiting for her. I was reading my favorite book and listening to music when suddenly I heard a really strange noise in the kitchen. I went to see what was going on, and for my surprise there was a thief stealing things in my home! I was shocked! Luckily I could him, he was a short, fat and ugly guy. His face was fat and a little bit red, he had just one green and big eye, his nose was really small and fat, he was bald, his lips were pink and he had two big ears. He was wearing a blue pant, a black sweater with white spots and his shoes were a pair of old and dirty purple pair of converse.

I talked to the police about what happened and gave them these descriptions, so
