Shopping Made Easy

A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday morning. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easy for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then, the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found that the shop-assistant was her daughter.
