I live in a very big city, Buenos Aires. I have been drawing all my life, ever since I was a child as I didn’t have a TV. I enjoy most of all drawing comic strips and picturing myself and my kids in the illustrations that I create.

arry was a policeman. One day, the Chief wanted to see him and a policewoman called Emma. All the detectives were a little afraid of the Chief. He was clever but he didn’t smile very often! The Chief pointed to some photographs and said, ‘I want you to catch the Rucksack Gang. They’re going to rob the Castle Museum tonight.’ ‘Great!’ said Emma happily. ‘Hmmm,’ said Harry.
2
The Chief showed Emma and Harry two rings and a computer. On the computer screen you could see where the rings were. The Chief said, ‘Wear these rings. We can see where you are!’ Emma said, ‘Good idea Chief!’ Harry looked at the rings. He wanted to be at home eating ice-cream in front of the television! His legs felt weak. He wasn’t feeling very brave!
3
Harry and Emma put on the rings and went to the Castle with Betty and Robert. Betty and Robert were wearing their police uniforms.They waited in the car with the computer while Emma and Harry went into the Castle. ‘See you later!’ said Betty. ‘Good luck! We’ll watch you on the computer!’ said Robert. ‘Thank you!’ said Emma. ‘Hmmm!’ said Harry.

‘Come on Harry! I have an idea!’ said Emma. Harry was not happy! He didn’t like working with Emma. She was always running around! Harry liked to live quietly. Emma gave Harry some armour to wear. ‘With the armour on we can see the robbers but they can’t see us! It will be easy to catch them!’ said Emma. ‘Hmmm!’ said Harry.
5
Emma helped Harry to get dressed. Harry’s ring got caught on a metal vest. ‘Ouch! Stop pulling!’ said Harry. ‘Oh! O.K. Sorry!’ said Emma.
6
Harry took the ring off and put it onto a crown. He was NOT happy! He said, ‘I don’t think this is a very good idea! This armour is very heavy!’ But Emma just said, ‘Please be quiet Harry! We’re going to catch the robbers and the Chief is going to be very happy with us!’
