Seventeen oranges -IX std

                      Seventeen oranges 
                                          - Bill Naughton

Author :

William John Francis Naughton, or Bill Naughton (12 June 1910 – 9 January 1992) was an Irish-born British playwright and author, best known for his play Alfie.

Content :
       This lesson contains two amusing anecdotes. 
Clem Jones plans a theft carefully and carries it 
out with perfection. It is interesting to note how he
throws dust in the eyes of a policeman and 
manages to get off with the stolen goods.  The
narrator on the other hand is a pretty thief. He 
picks up things whenever he sees them. Once he
steals seventeen oranges from the docks. 
Unfortunately his bulging pockets attract the
attention of the policeman Poncho. The narrator 
is caught and locked in a cabin.  🍊 oranges are 
only the evidence against the narrator. By eating 
all the oranges he has destroyed the evidence. 
This is how he escaped from the clutches of law
using his presence of mind.
