Question

A rich Japanese was on vacation in New York. One day he went into a shop. He wanted to buy a nice-looking watch very much, but the owner of the shop asked five hundred dollars for it. Suddenly a young man came into the shop, took the watch out of the owner’s hands and ran out with it. It all happened in a few seconds. When the owner ran out into the street, the young man already disappeared (消失) among the people.

The rich man went on. At the next corner, he saw the young man with the stolen watch in his hand. “Do you want to buy a fine watch, sir?” he asked in a low voice, “It’s only a hundred dollars.” “The young man doesn’t know I saw him stealing the watch,” he thought. The rich man paid him at once and went back to his room with the watch. He told his friend about the fine watch.

His friend had a look at the watch and began laughing. He said, “You are foolish. This watch isn’t worth (價值) even ten dollars. I’m sure the shop owner and the young man planned this play together.”
