A Golden Watch

nice-looking watch for his girl friend, Rose. He fixed his eyes on a nicc 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 golden 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 mLich
