The Story Of A £5 Note
Two Taranaki women travelling by train recently became friendly, and when the train stopped at a station one went to get two cups of tea. She left her handbag on the seat. When she returned she missed a £5 note from it. She was suspicious and when her companion left her seat for a moment she had a look inside the other’s handbag. On top of other articles was a £5 note.
Her suspicions confirmed, she took the note. The other woman returned, opened her bag, and. fell silent, and the atmosphei’e became chilly. When the woman who had the £5 note telephoned her husband that evening to tell him that she had arrived, he told her that she had left a £5 note behind.
