A

All kinds of people come in to have their shoes shined. Most of them are friendly. But this man was different.

"How much do you make a week, boy?" he asked me. I felt he was laughinh at me.

He kept taking a sharp look around every now and then. All the time I kept wondering where I'd seen his face. Suddenly I knew. I'd seen his picture in the post office many times. He was a big robber: wanted by the police in three states!

"You know," he was saying, "It's imagination people lack. You'll never get anywhere as a shoeshine boy."

I kept brushing away at his shoes as fast as 1 could. The sooner I finished the better. He said, "When I was sixteen, I had make $2,500 of my own."

That reminded me of something. Was it $2,500 or $S,000 or $25,000? I wasn't sure. I knew a big reward was offered for him.

What could I do about it? Hit him with a can of shoe polish(鞋油)? A man his size could grind (碾碎) me into the floor. If only someone would come in!

He kept talking away. "Along with imagination. it tatkes courage. The courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoestring."

Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey coming across the street. Then, real fast, I began tightening the man's shoestrings.

The policeman was at the window when I cried out, "Officer Dailey, help ! This man's a robber."

"Shup up." the man shouted angrily. He started to jump off the stand. It didn' t go the way he planned. He fell flat on his face and knocked himself out cold.

"That ,was pretty clever of you" the officer said. "You'll get a reward of $ 7,500 for him."

"Well, it really wash't my idea," I said. "It was his. He told me if you had courage and imagination you could start something big on a shoestring."
