On a sunny afternoon, two men are leisurely strolling down the sidewalk,
pushing a bicycle adorned with a large bag tied to the handlebars.
The bicycle looks a bit worn, and the bag seems to be bulging at the seams.
As they make their way down the curb, a sharp-eyed policeman approaches them, instantly sensing that something isn’t quite right.
Curious and cautious, the policeman stops them.
“Hey, you two! What’s in that bag?” he asks, eyeing them suspiciously.
One of the men, quick on his feet, responds with a grin, “Sand, officer!”
The policeman raises an eyebrow and leans in for a closer look. He peers into the bag and, indeed,
sees nothing but sand spilling over the edges.
“Hmm, all right,” the officer says, somewhat relieved.
“You can go now. Sorry for the trouble.”
As the policeman walks away,
the two men exchange mischievous glances and continue on their way.
Once they’re a couple of streets down, one man chuckles and says to the other, “See, son, that’s how you steal a bike!”
