[00:00.760]--- Lesson 32 Shopping made easy
[00:06.600]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:12.200]--- Who was the thief?
[00:16.400]People are not so honest as they once were.
[00:20.680]The temptation to steal is greater than ever before -- especially in large shops.
[00:28.480]A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings.
[00:37.640]One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in,
[00:44.600]so it was easier for the detective to watch her.
[00:49.600]The woman first bought a few small articles.
[00:54.520]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.
[01:08.200]Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying.
[01:15.880]When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter.
[01:24.040]The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week!
