Mr. Wilson gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday. The day after her birthday，Mrs. Wilson went
shopping. She got on a bus and sat down next to an old lady. After a while，Mrs. Wilson noticed that the old lady's bag was open.  She saw a ten-pound not inside the handbag which was just like the one her
husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag：the ten-pound note had gone!
Mrs. Wilson was sure that the old lady had stolen it. She thought for a while and she was sure that she
should call the police. But as she disliked 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 around to make sure that nobody was watching, then she carefully put her hand into the old lady's hand bag, took the note and put it carefully into her own bag.When Mrs. Wilson got home that evening，she showed her husband the beautiful skirt
she had bought. “How did you pay for it？”he said.“With the money for my birthday, of course.” she
replied.“Oh？What's that then？”he asked as he pointed to a piece of ten-pound note on the table.
