Tom 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. Tom wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station and now he is worried any more. At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle has been found. Ten days ago, the policeman told him that the bicycle was picked up in a small village fifty kilometers away. Tom was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen five years ago when Tom was a boy of fifteen!
