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 !
