偷伞的人

一天，杰克的妻子正在清扫壁橱。
“看这些雨伞，”杰克的妻子对他说，“这里有八把伞而且都坏了。”
“我会把它们带到雨伞店去修，”杰克说，“他们还那么新，丢掉多可惜。”
杰克把八把伞带到雨伞店里然后把它们留在那里。“它们明天就能修好，”店员说。
晚上他像往常一样坐公共汽车从办公室回家。他坐在一个老女人旁边。她的旁边有一把伞。
当公共汽车到站时，他捡起她的伞然后站了起来。
“哎！”那个女人说。“那是我的伞。”
“实在对不起，”杰克说，把雨伞递给她。“我没有多想。请原谅我。”
第二天他从雨伞店取回雨伞然后坐上了车。 当他坐下时，一个声音从他身后响起：“你今天很成功啊！”
他转过身看到了那个昨天拿伞的那个女人。 她想他是一个偷伞的人。
