汽车上的小偷
Mr Smith gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday, ten pretty pound notes. So the day after her
birthday, Mrs Smith went shopping. She pueued for a bus, got on and sat down next to an old lady.
After a while, she noticed that old lady's handbag was open. Inside it she saw a wad of pound notes
exactly like the one her husband bad given her. So she quickly looked it her own bag,--- the notes
were gone! Mrs smith was sure that the old lady sitting next to her had stolen them. She thounght
she would have to call the police, but, as she disliked making a fuss and getting people into trouble,
she decided to take back the money from the old lady's handbag and say nothing more about it. She
looked round the bus to make sure nobody was watching, then she carefully put her hand into the old
lady's bag, took the notes and put them in her own bag.
When she got home that evening, she showed her husband the beautiful hat had bought.
"How did you pay for it?" he asked.
"With the money you gave me for my brithday, of course," she replied. "Oh? What's that ,then ?" he asked, as he pointed to a wad of ten pound notes on the table.

有了一迭1英镑的钞票下正象她丈夫给她 的。于是她迅速地看了一下她自己的手提包——钞票不见了!史密斯太太断
定是坐在她旁边的老太太偷走了她的钞票。她想她应该叫警察。但是她以不愿意大惊小怪让别人惹麻烦。她决定从老
太太的提包里把钱拿回来,并且什么也不说。她四下看了一看,确信车上没有人注意她,然后她小心地把她的手伸进
老太太的提包,取走了钞票并把它们放进了自己的提包里。
那天晚上她回家时,她把她买的漂亮的帽子拿给她的丈夫看。
“你是怎么买下它的?”他问。
“当然是用你的生日给我的钱呀。”她答道。
“喔,那么,那是怎么回事?“他一边问,一边指着桌子上的一迭十张1英镑的钞票
