Amy opened the box at home． She was expecting a pair of sports shoes， but she just found an old teapot． "This is not a very interesting gift， " said Amy， a bit disappointed．"That's all right． Let's make some tea in it， "said her mother． Then they found a note in the teapot． It said， " Dear Amy ， （3）     Love Dad．"

The two men kidnapped（绑架）Mr． Chan on his way to the museum． They opened his box and found a pair of sports shoes inside．"Where's the teapot？" The two thieves shouted at the top of their voice with red faces．" How dare you cheat us？ We saw you give your daughter a box at the airport． Come with us! We're going to search your home"， one of them said．

When the thieves entered Mr． Chans flat， it was dark and quiet． All of a sudden， the door closed and the lights went on． The police were waiting inside．

Amy and her mother came out of the bedroom with the teapot．"That teapot is very valuable， said Mr． Chan． "A long time ago it belonged to an emperor． He drank tea from it．"
