Yesterday my mother went into a shop to buy some fruit and vegetables. She put her basket and handbag down on a table and went to look at some apples in the window. There were a lot of people in the shop. When the shopkeeper was free, he weighed half a kilo of apples for my mother, put them in a paperbag and said, “That will be twelve pence, Mrs. Baker.” My mother said, “My money is in my handbag on that table.” She went to the table, but the handbag was not there! The basket was on the table, but the handbag was not! My mother was surprised.

　　Suddenly there was a lot of noise at the door of the shop, and a policeman came in, he was holding a man and my mother's bag. “Has anyone lost her handbag?” the policeman asked. “Yes,” my mother answered. “That's mine.” The policeman looked in the bag and asked, “How much money did you have?” “Two pounds and a few pence,” my mother said. “It's all here,” the policeman said and gave her the bag.“I caught the thief outside. He was running away.”
