One morning during breakfast, Robert was reading a letter. "Look, dear," he said to his wife Mary, "someone sent these two tickets for the play this evening. Wasn’t that kind" "Who sent them" asked Mary. "I’ve no idea," said Robert. "There’s a note in the envelope, but it says: ’Can you guess who sent these two tickets to you’" "Well, never mind," said Mary, "I expect one of our friends wants to give us a surprise."
After dinner that evening, Robert and Mary put on their best clothes and went to the play. They had a wonderful evening and came home very grateful (感激) to the unknown friend who had given them the tickets. But when they got back to their flat (公寓), they found that a thief (窃贼) had been there. In fact, everything they owned had been stolen—furniture, pictures, clothes, money and even the knives and forks in the kitchen. At the center of the kitchen table was another note. This one said, "Now can you guess who sent the tickets\
GA thief came to their flat while they were out.
