Lesson 32 Shopping made easy
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!

32. People are becoming less moral now. There are more thieves than ever before, especially in big shopping malls. The police noticed one fashionable woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, a detective watched the women closely as the business was less busy than usual. The woman took the most expensive dress in the store and handed it to an assistant after she had bought a few small articles. The shop assistant wrapped the dress for her as quickly as possible. The woman took the parcel and straightly walked out of the shop without payment. She was arrested for sure, but to the police’s surprise, the shop assistant is her daughter!
