求一个适合12岁小朋友讲的英文小故事
朋友的孩子要参加一个活动,要用英文讲一个小故事,请问适合小朋友讲的比较新颖的小故事有什么呢?求大家相助,集思广益,

Do you like stories?
I want to tell you a true story.
It happened to a friend of mine a year ago.
While my friend,George,was reading in bed,two thieves climbed into his kitchen.
After they had entered the house,they went into the dining room.
It was very dark,so they turned on a tourch.
Suddenly,they heard a voice behind them.'What's up?What's up?'someone called.
The thieves dropped the tourch and ran away as quickly as they could.
George heard the noise and came downstairs quickly.
He turned on the light,but he couldn't see anyone.
The thieves had already gone.
But George's parrot,Henry,was still there.
'What's up,George?'he called.
'Nothing,Henry,'George said and smiled.'Go back to sleep.'
好啦~应该还简单的,我全部手打上来的哦,
再问： 你好，大概需要时常为1分钟，还有长一点的吗？我可以提高悬赏，谢谢！
再答： 这个我觉得差不多了吧。。我自己读了下差不多50多秒，不行的话中间再加个两句好了。 Do you like stories? I want to tell you a true story. It happened to a friend of mine a year ago.
