Question

Old George selected his food in the supermarket more carefully than NASA chose its astronauts. When he left the cashier, he was happy to think that he had saved 80 cents today.

At the exit, the cold wind made him think of his gloves. He looked for them in his coat and pants but could not find them anywhere. He had bought the black gloves at a good price, for just $ 35, years ago. They were soft and very comfortable. He had taken great care of them. So they were in good condition.

George looked calm on his face but felt mad inside. He went into the store again. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be useless. His black gloves were gone. "People have changed, "he said to himself. "Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. "He went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. He finally walked out into the street.

A few days later, poor George decided to buy another leather pair of gloves.

Before getting on the subway, he stepped into the supermarket again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. "What color are they?" the woman in the office asked. "Black, "he answered. She looked into her drawer and took out of a pair of man's leather gloves. "Are they?"

"Yes! Those are mine, " George exclaimed, his eyes full of joy.
