17 - Wanted


The police in the city were looking for a thief. At last they caught him. But while they were taking photographs of him - from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat - he suddenly attacked the policemen and ran off. They tried to catch him, but he got away.

Then a week later the telephone rang in police-station, and somebody said, 'You are looking for Bill Cross, aren't you?'

'Yes.'

'Well, he left here for Waterbridge an hour ago.'

Waterbridge was a small town 150 kilometres from city. The city police at once sent four photographs of the thief to the police in Waterbridge. 'We have caught three of the men,' they said happily, 'and we will catch the fourth this evening, we think'.
