One day, two silver saucers were stolen from the cupboard. After a few days, another two saucers were stolen again. The rich man was very angry. He thought, “Someone must have stolen them. I must catch the thief, or another two saucers will be stolen in a few days.” Then he had an idea. He called in all his servants and said, “Some of my silver saucers have disappeared. Someone among you must have taken them. Who has taken them？” The servants looked at one another and kept quiet. Then the rich man said, “I shall catch the thief myself. I am giving each of you a stick. Look, all the sticks are of the same length. Keep the sticks. Bring them back tomorrow. The thiefs stick will grow two centimeters longer.” That evening, Salleh, one of the servants, went home sadly. His wife asked him, “Why are you so sad this evening？” “This stick will grow two centimeters longer tomorrow because I have taken the silver saucers，” he said. “Oh, dont worry. Cut off two centimeters from the stick，” his wife said. “In other words, your stick will be of the same length as any of the other sticks.” Hearing this, he was very happy. At once, he cut off two centimeters from the stick with a knife. The next day, each of the servants brought back his stick. The rich man then measured each of the sticks. He found Sallehs stick shorter by two centimeters. Salleh was the thief. He was caught and put in prison. The rich man got back the stolen saucers. 【语篇解读】　文章讲述了一个富翁用聪明的方法抓住了小偷的故事。 词汇小得　①be of the same length 一样长；②cut off 切下；③call in 召集 1．The silver saucers were kept in ________.
