    “It’s the only way to keep all of your hands out of trouble,” Mum said.
    We walked out of the supermarket. Mum started to lead the way to the car park.
    Suddenly someone shouted, “Stop those men!”
    We looked around and saw a policeman and a policewoman chasing two men – and they were all running in our direction.

    “Stop those men!” the policewoman shouted again.
    The men were getting closer to us.
    Just as they were about to run past us, the twins and I gave our trolley a terrific shove.
    The two men ran straight into it. The blond man went flying over our trolley whilst the man with the brown hair collapsed on to it.

    The policeman and policewoman came running up and then more police arrived from all directions. They grabbed hold of the two men and led them away.
    Then two of the police came over to us, bringing our trolley.
    “Well done!” the policewoman said to us. “What are your names?”
    The twins and I looked at each other.
    So I said, “I’m Girl Wonder and . . .”
    “We’re the Terrific Twins! ” said Anthony and Edward together.
    Hooray!
