A Golden Watch
Mr Mike was a young man. He was not very rich. One day he went into a watch
shop to buy a nice-looking watch for his girl friend, Rose. He fixed his eyes
on a nice golden watch, and decided to buy it. The shop assistant took the watch
out, and asked for three hundred pounds for it. Just then, a boy of about fifteen
suddenly rushed over and grasped the watch from the assistant‘s hand. The assistant
hurried out to catch the boy. But it was too late, the boy had disappeared among
the street people very quickly.
On the way home, Mike met the boy, who would sell him the gold watch for only
one hundred pounds. The boy didn‘t know that I saw him stealing the watch from
the shop. And he asked for much less money than that in the shop. Mike thought
to himself. So he paid the boy and took the watch home.
The next day, Mike gave the golden watch to Rose, and told her all about the
watch.
Rose looked at the watch for a while, then, laughed loudly, You are really
a fool! she said, This watch isn‘t worth 100 pounds at all. The assistant
and the boy must have planned the whole thing together!
