People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before -- especially in largeshops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. OneMonday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watchher. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shopand handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel andwalked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was herdaughter. The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week!
