--- Lesson 32 Shopping made easy |

--- First listen and then answer the question. |
| [00:12.200] |
--- Who was the thief? |
| [00:16.400] |
People are not so honest as they once were. |
| [00:20.680] |
The temptation to steal is greater than ever before -- especially in large shops. |
| [00:28.480] |
A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. |
| [00:37.640] |
One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, |
| [00:44.600] |
so it was easier for the detective to watch her. |
| [00:49.600] |
The woman first bought a few small articles. |
| [00:54.520] |
After a little 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. |
| [01:08.200] |
Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. |
| [01:15.880] |
When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. |
| [01:24.040] |
The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week! |
