Track 71

Billy had a nice shop in the main street of a small town. He sold jewellery，watches，clocks and so on. All went well for some years，and then a thief stole a lot of jewellery from his shop twice in one month at night.
Three weeks passed，yet the police still didn’t catch the thief. So Billy decided to try to do something about it himself. He bought a good camera and fixed it up in his shop and put some cheap jewellery in front of it for the thief，so that it could take a photo of anyone who stole the jewellery.
A few nights later the thief came，but he did not touch any of the cheap jewellery that Billy had put out for him. He took the camera，which was worth 1，500 dollars.

参考译文
比利在一个小镇的主要街道上开有一家精品店。那里出售珠宝、钟表之类的东西。几年来，一切都进展顺利。后来，一名窃贼在一个月内趁夜间两次从他的店里偷走大量珠宝。
三周过去了，警方依然没有将窃贼缉拿归案。所以比利决定自己采取行动。他买了一架高级照相机，并把它安装在商店内的上方，还为引诱窃贼在照相机前面放了一些廉价的珠宝，这样相机就能拍下偷珠宝的窃贼的照片了。
过了几晚，窃贼来了，但他没有碰比利为他准备的那些廉价珠宝。他把价值1 500美元的相机拿走了。
