　　A neighbor of mine, while visiting his mother in Boston, took her to a shoe store to buy a new pair of shoes．While she was trying on different styles(款式), my neighbor took the manager aside．“When she picks out a pair that she likes,” he said, “just tell her that the price is 12 dollars．I’ll pay the regular(正常的)price．I don’t care how much it is．”

　　The following week, my neighbor was walking by the shoe store and the manager recognized(认出)him and called him in．

　　“What’s the problem?” asked my neighbor as he entered the store．

　　“Wasn’t my check any good?”

　　“That’s not it,” answered the manager, “The problem is that your mother is bringing all her friends in for those 12-dollar shoes!”

　　Sal and Kyp were thieves．Each day, they looked for places to rob．One afternoon, they walked by a clothes store．They couldn't believe it．In the window, there was a big pile of money．Next to the money was a sign．It said,“Big Discounts!”

　　“What a great chance,”Kyp said．“We'll steal the money tonight．”“But boss——”Sal said as he looked closely in the window．“Quiet, we have to make a plan,”Kyp said．“Let's go．”

　　At Kyp's house, the thieves planned their crime．Late that night, they returned to the store．

　　“Are you ready?”Kyp asked Sal．“Yes, boss, but－”“Quiet,”Kyp said．“Let's get started．Now!”

　　Then, Sal broke the window with a metal pipe．Kyp quickly put the money in a bag．The two thieves ran away．Back at Kyp's house, they took the money out of the bag．

　　“Hey,”Kyp said,“this money looks strange．”

　　“I tried to tell you before,”Sal said．“You didn't wear your glasses today, right?”

　　“So what?”

　　“So you didn't see the money clearly．Like I was trying to say, the money is fake!”

　　“Fake?”

　　“Of course．No store would put real money in their window．”

　　“Why not?”Kyp asked．

　　“Because somebody might try to steal it．”Sal said．
