Three people were walking along a street, first a big man, then a beautiful woman, and then an old
man. The first two went round a corner. Suddenly the old man saw a piece of paper on the ground. He
picked it up. The old man found it was five pounds. A few seconds (秒) later, the young woman came
back. She was crying. "I have dropped five pounds," she said. "Don't cry," said the old man, "Here it is."
The young woman thanked him and went away. After a few seconds, the big man came back. He was
looking for something. Suddenly a window opened and a small man looked out. "I saw five Pounds fall
 from your pocket," he said, "but that man gave it to a young woman." The big man was very angry.
The old man was very afraid and gave him another five pounds. When the old man had gone, the young
woman came back to get her one pound thirteen shillings (先令) and four pence (便士), and the small
man came out to get the same money.
