　　Herb was at home alone one night while his parents were out．He had often stayed alone before，so he wasn't afraid．As he waited for his parents to return home，he watched the late film on TV．His eyes became heavier and heavier as the time passed．

　　Suddenly Herb's eyes were opened wide．What was that noise in the next room？Herb heard the window slowly being inched open．For a minute Herb was so frightened that he could not move，and his body felt like ice．

　　He knew that he mustn't lose his head and began to think of the things he could do．He couldn't reach the telephone without passing the window where he had heard the noise，and he couldn't reach the door．Again he heard the sound of someone trying to climb into his home．

　　Herb's drums were standing in the corner near the TV．“Wait，maybe there is something I can do．” thought Herb．

　　He picked up the drumsticks and beat on his drums as hard as he could．The commotion was so terrible that Herb surprised even himself．He also surprised the person in the window，who ran away as fast as possible．The burglary was nipped in the bud．

　　Herb had just used his drums in a very unusual way．“Maybe drums aren't such bad instruments after all．”thought Herb with a smile on his face．
