   Brian liked jogging (running slowly).  He jogged in Central Park every morning. He always took a five-dollar bill with him in his top pocket. He jogged into the park and went to the shop by the lake. He always bought himself a coffee and a hamburger.

   One day he jogged into the park and another jogger knocked into him. For a few moments he didn't think about it, and then he suddenly thought, "Hey! This man might be a pickpocket!" He felt for his five-dollar bill in his pocket. It wasn't there! The other man had taken it!

   He thought, "There is too much crime(犯罪)in New York! I always say honest people must fight crime!"

   The man was only 30 meters ahead. Brian ran after him, hit him on the shoulder, and said," Give me the money!" The man said, "OK! Just stay cool! Take it easy! Take it easy!"

   Then the man gave Brian a five-dollar bill.

   Then the man ran away as fast as he could!

   Brian felt really good and ran to the shop. He had fought crime. He had got his money back again. He bought himself a coffee and two hamburgers.

   Then he ran home. His wife was waiting. She was shaking her head. "Oh dear! Oh dear!" she said. "You've had a bad morning, haven't you?"

   "No! Why? I've had a very good morning!" he said. "Really?" she said." But you left your five-dollar bill on the table!"
