Mr. White gave his wife ten dollars for her birthday. So the day after her birthday, Mrs. White went shopping. She got on a bus and sat down next to an old woman . A after moment, she found the old woman’s handbag was open and inside it there were ten dollars. She then thought the money was very much like her own.

Mrs. White quickly looked into her own bag, and found there was no money at all. Now she was sure the old woman had taken away her money. But she didn’t want to call a policeman, so she decided to take back the money and say nothing about it. She looked round the bus. No one was watching her. Then she carefully took out the money from the woman’s handbag and put it into hers.

She got home that evening, and showed to her husband a new hat.

“How did you pay for it?” he asked.

“Well, you gave me the money for my birthday, and I bought the with it.”

Her husband then asked her to see the ten dollars on the table and said, “What’s that then?”
