(10 pts)Mr. Smith gave his wife 10 pounds for her birthday- ten pretty pound notes. So a day after her birthday, Mrs. Smith went shopping. She queued for a bus, got on and sat down next to an old lady. After a while she noticed that the old lady’s handbag was open. Inside it she saw a wad of pound notes exactly the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag – the notes had gone! Mrs. Smith was sure that the old lady who was sitting next to her had stolen them. She thought she would have to call the police; but as she disliked making a fuss and making people into trouble, she decided to take back the money from the old lady’s handbag and say nothing more about it. She looked round the bus to make sure that nobody was watching, and then she carefully put her hand into the old lady’s bag, took the notes and put them in her own bag. When she got home that evening, she showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought. “How did you pay for it?’ he asked. “ With the money you gave me on my birthday, of course”, she replied. “Oh? What’s that then?” he asked as he pointed a wad of ten pound notes on the table.
