Brave pizza shop workers – level 1

15-09-2014 07:00

This happens in southern Italy. Two men enter a pizzeria. These men are criminals. They want to rob the pizzeria.

One of them has a gun. He points it at the owner. The criminal fires, but the gun jams. The owner keeps fighting. Other workers of the pizzeria help. They break plates over the criminals’ heads. Police catch the robbers quickly.

Difficult words: rob (to take money from somewhere or something), owner (person who has something), jam (stop working).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

What would you do if you were one of the employees?
