There was a new policeman at the police station, and they wanted to give him some work. "Take this thief to the city", said one of them. The policeman and the thief, set out along the road to the station. On their way, they came to a shop. In this shop, bread was sold.
"We have no food," said the thief. "I'll go into this shop, and buy some bread. Wait here for me". The policeman was glad, "I'll have some food in the train", he thought. "be quick", he said to the thief.
The thief went into the shop, and the policeman waited in the street for a long time. But then he began to think about the train, and at last, he could not find the thief.
So he had to go back to the police station, and tell the others about it. They were very angry with him, and he was very unhappy. All the police of the town began to look for the thief again, and they soon caught him.
They brought him back to the police station, and called the same policeman. "Now Take him to the city, and don't lose him again!" said one of them angrily.
The policeman and the thief, set out again along the same road to the station, and they came to the same shop. Thief: wait here, I want to go into that shop, and buy some bread, for our journey.
Policeman: Oh no! You did that before, and you ran away. This time, I'll go into the shop, and buy the bread, and you must wait here for me.
