Ted Robinson has been worried all the week. Last Tuesday he received a letter
from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Ted wondered
why he was wanted by the police but he went to the station yesterday, and now he is
not worried any more. At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his
bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked
up in a small village four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by
train. Ted was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too, because he
never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Ted was a
boy of fifteen!
