【原文】

Mr. Scott was the owner of a shop. He lived by himself in a small room above his shop. He was always afraid that someone might break into his shop at night One day. When he checked his money after closing up, he found he had almost 10,000 dollars. He thought keeping so much money in the shop was a dangerous thing. So he took the money with him to his bedroom, put it in the pocket of his coat and went to bed with his coat on. At midnight the doorbell rang and woke him up. He got out of his bed and called out in a shaky voice "What do you want?" Under the street light stood a policeman, "Sorry to wake you up." the policeman said. "But all the lights are on in your shop. I think you just forgot to turn them off when you closed up."
