27 A Golden Watch阅读理解专项训练 A Golden Watch Mr Mike was a young man. He was not very rich. One day he went into a watch shop to buy a nice-looking watch for his girl friend, Rose. He fixed his eyes on a nice golden watch, and decided to buy it. The shop assistant took the watch out, and asked for three hundred pounds for it. Just then, a boy of about fifteen suddenly rushed over and grasped the watch from the assistants hand. The assistant hurried out to catch the boy.
