The plane was late and detectives were
waiting at the airport all morning. They
were expecting a valuable parcel of dia-
mond from South Africa. A few hours
earlier, someone had told the police that
thieves would try to steal the diamonds.
When the plane arrived,some of the de-
tectives were waiting inside the main
building while others were waiting on the
airfield. Two men took the parcel off
the plane and carried it into the Customs
House. While two detectives were keep-
ing guard at the door, two others opened
the parcel. To their surprise, the precious
parcel was full of stones and sand!

飛機誤點了，偵探們在機場等了整整一上午。他們正期待從南非來的一個裝著鉆石的貴重包裹。數(shù)小時以前，有人向警方報告，說有人企圖偷走這些鉆石。當飛機到達時，一些偵探等候在主樓內，另一些偵探則守候在停機坪上。有兩個人把包裹拿下飛機，進了海關。這時兩個偵探把住門口，另外兩個偵探打開了包裹。令他們吃驚的是，那珍貴的包裹里面裝的全是石頭和沙子！
