A woman went into a shop one evening to buy a new dress. A strange man followed her into the shop and stood close to her while she was at the counter. Suddenly she screamed, and the man turned round and ran out of the shop, and right into the arms of a passing policeman. Then he was caught by the policeman because he was a real robber.
"Mrs. Jones, if you hadn"t screamed I would certainly have been robbed," said the shopkeeper. He thanked her very much for her help. "But how did you know he was a robber?" asked the shopkeeper.
"I didn"t know," answered Mrs. Jones. "I screamed when you told me how expensive the dress was. "
