Linda Evans was a well-known writer of children's stories， who lived m a fine old house in Devon． Usually she worked at home， in her quiet study， sometimes she had to leave the house to get some books from the library or have a meeting． She didn't like being away， because she was very worried about burglars． So she was very careful． Just before leaving， she always put a full cup of coffee on the kitchen table， and left the radio playing， to make a burglar think there was someone at home．
One day she came back after a day out， and saw at once that someone had been there． There was only a little coffee left in the cup， and the radio was off． But when she looked at her computer， she saw it was on and someone had typed in a new story． She had no idea who had got in， or how， because none of the doors or windows was broken． But she sat down to read the story， and it was a very good one． "I'll use it in my next book!" She said happily．
The next month she had to go to London． She put a lot of coffee and a plate of sandwiches on the table． When she returned， the coffee and sandwiches had gone． She ran to the computer． This time there was only a message on the screen． "IT'S NOT YOUR STORY， IT'S MINE!" it said．
