SHOPPING MADE EASY

People are so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater then before especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday morning. One Monday,there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles, after the time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply tool the parcel and walked out the shop without paying. When she arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl “gave” her mother a free dress once a week !!
