John and Sylvia were quite rich. They had a large, beautiful house full of expensive paintings.
They had many friends and were not surprised when they received two free tickets for the theater.
They were surprised, however, when they could not find out who had sent them the tickets. There was no letter in the envelope (信封) with the tickets.
“They've forgotten to put in a letter,”John said.“How strange. We don't know who to thank.”
They phoned many of their friends and asked,“Did you send us theater tickets?”“No,”their friends said.“We didn't send them.”“It's strange,”Sylvia told her husband,“but we won't waste the tickets. Everyone says that the play is very good.”
And so they went to the theater. They did not really enjoy the play, however, because they were worrying all the time. The play started at eight o'clock and finished at half past ten. When they got home it was after eleven. There was a note on their front door. It said,“We hope you enjoyed the play.”Inside the house there was not a single painting. They had all been stolen.
