     Bite(咬) the Hook(鉤子)
     Henry Smith taught science at the City School. Once he went to a bookstore and bought some books, most of which were very expensive ones. He left them in his car in a quiet street. Then he went and bought some other things at other shops. At six o’clock, he came back to the car. One window was open and the books were gone! Henry drove back to his home in Lake Street.
     That night he wrote a letter to a newspaper. The next day he went to the police.
     On Friday people read an advertisement in the newspaper:
     BOOKS WANTED
     Have you any books that you no longer want? I buy old and modern books.
     Open all day on Saturdays. Henry Smith, 18 Lake Street.
     Henry stayed at home on Saturday. His first visitor came at eight o’clock. Henry took him to the kitchen. At half past nine another man arrived. He had a bag under his arm.
     "Mr. Smith?" the man asked.
     "That’s right," Henry said, "Can 1 help you?"
     "I have some good books. You buy books, don’t you?"
     "Yes. Bring them in. I’ll have a look at them."
     Soon the books were on the dining-table. "Come in now." Henry called out, “and bring the list.”
     A policeman came into the dining-room. He read the titles on the books and then the list in his hand. They were the same.
     “Come with me, sir,” the policeman said to the man.
