The temptation to steal is greater thanever before especially in large shops, and people are not so honest astheyonce were. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always wentinto a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people inthe shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detectiveto watch her.

The woman first bought a few smallarticles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses inthe shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly aspossible. The woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop withoutpaying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistantwas her daughter. Believe it or not, the girl gave her mother a free dressevery week.
