【課文】
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds 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 detectives 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 keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!
飛機晚點了,偵探們一整個早上都在機場等著。他們正在等待從南非運來的一個裝有鉆石的貴重包裹。幾個小時前,有人向警方報告說,有小偷企圖偷走這些鉆石。當飛機抵達時,一些偵探在主樓內等候,而另一些則在停機坪上等候。兩名男子從飛機上取下包裹,將其帶入了海關大樓。當兩名偵探在門口把守時,另外兩名偵探打開了包裹。令他們驚訝的是,這個珍貴的包裹里裝的全是石頭和沙子!
