Ray’s wedding had gone off without a hitch 1. Everyone seemed to have had a good time. A few people had too good of a time; they went home with designated 2 drivers. All evening, the gift table remained unguarded. Who would steal anything, Ray thought. He had never heard of such a thing happening at a wedding. But his best friend Aaron said there was a first time for everything. He strolled 3 out regularly from the inside festivities to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious 4 was hanging around it.


Ray and Julia went on a 3-week honeymoon 5 to Italy right after the wedding. When they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank you notes. But there was one problem. A married couple that used to be good friends had apparently 6 given nothing. This surprised Julia, because Walt and Mary said they were thrilled to be invited. And, they actually seemed to have had a great time at the wedding. Frankly 7, Ray didn’t even care if they hadn’t given a gift. He just needed to know whether to send a thank you note. Ray called Aaron. Aaron said maybe Walt had left an envelope on the gift table like Aaron had. “Yes, but we got your envelope with the cash inside,” Ray said.


“Maybe my envelope looked too thin, and some thief thought Walt’s envelope looked nice and fat.”
