Who was the thief?
People are not so honest as
they once were.
The temptation to steal is greater than
ever before--especially in large shops.
A detective recently watched a well-dressed
woman who always went into a large store
on Monday mornings.
One Monday,
there were fewer people in the shop
than usual when the woman came in,
so it was easier for the detective to watch her.
The woman first bought a few small articles.
After a little time,
she chose one of the most expensive dresses
in the shop and handed it to an assistant
who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible.
Then the woman simply took the parcel
and walked out of the shop without paying.
When she was arrested,
the detective found out that
the shop assistant was her daughter.
The girl 'gave' her mother
a free dress once a week!
