　　There was great excitement at Thorby police station. The Inspector had received a phone call from an informer (通报者). The man said that a gang (帮、团伙) intended to rob the main post office. He even told the Inspector the date and time for which the robbery was planned. The Thorby police were not used to serious crimes (罪). Except for occasional cases of apple stealing, their peace was seldom disturbed. Hardly did anything more serious happen.

　　The robbery was going to take place at two o'clock on market day. The informer said that one of the gang would have a revolver. This worried the Inspector most of all.

On the day that the robbery was to take place, all was ready. At two o'clock, a large black car was parked in front of the post office. Three men, with handkerchiefs over their faces, jumped out and ran into the post office. Two of them stayed by the door. The third went up to the counter and pulled out a revolver. No sooner had I done this then the Inspector blew his whistle. The man standing at the counter immediately put the revolver back in his pocket and pulled the handkerchief from his face. “Could I have a five-penny stamp. please? ”he said. “You will have to tell a better story than that to the Judge.”the Inspector said. “And anyway, there is no parking in front of the post office. ”
