Lesson 32 Shopping made easy

中文

人们不再像以前那样诚实了。

偷窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候都更强烈 -- 特别是在大的商店里。

一名侦探最近注意上了一位穿着讲究的妇女，她总是在星期一上午进入一家大商场。

有一个星期一，当这位妇女走进这家商场时，里面的人比往常少，因此，侦探比较容易监视她。

这位妇女先是买了几样小商品。

过了一会儿，她又选了商场里最昂贵的一件衣服，把它递给了售货员。那售货员以最快的速度为她包好了衣服。

然后，那妇女拿过包就走出了商场，根本没有付钱。

她被逮捕后。侦探发现原来那售货员是她的女儿。

那姑娘每星期“送”她母亲一件免费的衣服！
