Mrs Brown was going out for the day. She locked the house and tacked a note for the milkman on the door: NOBODY HOME. DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING.
When she got back that night, she found her door broken open and her house ransacked(洗劫，掠奪) . On the note she had left, she found the following message added:
THANKS! WE HAVEN'T LEFT ANYTHING!
布朗太太要外出一天。 她鎖好了房門，在門上給送牛奶的'人釘了一張便條：家裡沒人，請不要留下任何東西!
她當天晚上回家後發現房間門被撞開，房子被洗劫一空。在她留給送奶人的便條上，她發現被補充了一句：謝謝!我們什麼也沒留下!
