5. They were very thorough, though they only searched on Thursdays.
6. These thick thieves were slipping and sliding along the ice when they were threatened by three thunderstorms. Then they ran to their thrones.
7. In order to thrive in Sweden, you must be thrifty with the theatre tickets. They will only be sold on a Saturday or Sunday, theoretically.
