Jim was a waiter. He liked to plant flowers in his garden when he was free. One Sunday morning after breakfast he put on his old clothes and began digging in his garden at 8:00. He dug and dug. Half an hour later he suddenly found a coin(硬币) near his foot. He was very glad. He put it in his right pocket. A few minutes later, he found another one. He picked it up and put it into the same pocket. The same thing happened for the third time, fourth time and fifth time…He was very happy and told his wife about it. She was very happy, too. She said, “A thief stole(偷) a lot of coins from a shop a few months ago. The policemen caught him but they didnt find any coins.”

Then Jim went on digging for some more coins, but just when he began to dig, he felt something cold in his trousers. It ran down one of his legs. He put his hand down quickly—and the coin came into his hand. Now he knew there was a hole in his pocket.
