David got a job in a police station after he left school. He worked there for 42 years and he'll retire this
year. He worked hard in the past 42 years. But he was not a lucky man. He failed to catch a thief. He was
often sorry for it.
Last weekend, while David's wife was cooking she found there was no salt at home. So she asked her
husband to buy some. In the shop, David saw a young man taking away a wallet from a woman's bag. He
walked to him quietly, but the young man noticed David and ran away at once. David ran after him. At last
the thief ran into a blind alley (死胡同) and David caught him.
"Please give me a chance, sir." said the thief
"Who can give one to me?" said David, "I'll soon retire and I catch a thief for the first time!"
