One day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday-ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an old lady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old lady's handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag—the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the old lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss, she decided to take back the money from the old lady's handbag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the old lady's bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.

When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.

"How did you pay for it?" Mr. White asked.

"With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course. " she answered.

"Oh? What's that, then?" he asked, as he pointed to a wad of pound notes on the table.
