How long had the police taken to find his bicycle?
Dan Robinson has been worried all week.
Last Tuesday he received a letter
from the local police.
In the letter he was asked to call at the station.
Dan wondered why
he was wanted by the police,
but he went to the station yesterday
and now he is not worried anymore.
At the station,
he was told by a smiling policeman
that his bicycle had been found.
Five days ago, the policeman told him,
the bicycle was picked up in a small village
four hundred miles away.
It is now being sent to his home by train.
Dan was most surprised
when he heard the news.
He was amused too,
because he never expected
the bicycle to be found.
It was stolen twenty years ago
when Dan was a boy of fifteen!
