Lesson 34

Quick work



Dan Robinson has been worried all week. Last Tuesday he received

a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to

call at the station. Dan wondered why he was wanted by the

police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not

worried anymore. At the station, he was told by a smiling

policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the

policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village

four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by

train. Dan was most surprised when he heard the news. He was

amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It

was stolen twenty years ago when Dan was a boy of fifteen!
