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

“How much do you make a week, boy?” he asked me. I felt he was 1 at me.

He kept giving a sharp 2 around every now and then. All the time I kept 3 where I'd seen his face. Suddenly I knew. I'd seen his 4 in the post office many times. He was the big robber: 5 by the police in three states!

“You know," he was saying. “It’s imagination people lack 'll never get 6 as a shoeshine boy."

I kept brushing away on his shoes as 7as I could. The sooner I finished, the better. He said, “When I was sixteen , I had 8 $ 2,500 of my own . "

That reminded me of something. Was it $ 2,500 or $ 5, 000 or $ 25,000? I wasn't 9. But I knew a big reward was 10 for him.

But what could I do about it? 11 him with a can of shoe polish? A man like his 12 could grind (碾碎) me into the floor . If only someone would come in!

He kept talking away. “Along with 13, it takes courage. The courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoes trings.

Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey 14 across the street. Then, really fast, I began tightening the man's shoestrings.

The policeman was at the window when I cried out. “Officer Dailey, 15! This man is a robber. ”

“ 16,” the man shouted angrily . He started to jump off the stand. But he didn’t go the 17 he planned. He fell flat on his face and knocked himself out cold.

“That was pretty 18 of you.”the officer said. “You’ll get a reward of $ 7,500 for him.”

“Well, it really wasn't my 19 .” I said. “It was his told me if you had courage and imagination you could start something 20 on a shoestring.”
