Do You Know My Work？
One night a hotel caught fire， and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes．
Two men stood outside and looked at the fire．
Before I came out， said one，I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money． People don't think of money when they're afraid． When anyone leaves paper money in a fire， the fire burns it． So I took all the bills that I could find．No one will be poorer because I took them．
You don't know my work， said the other．
What is your work？
I'm a policeman．
Oh！ cried the first man． He thought quickly and said，And do you know my work？No，said the policeman．
I'm a writer． I'm always telling stories about things that never happened．
