Grover the Grocer and the Shoplifter Grover the grocer ran a comfortable business, with one recurring malady--a persistent shoplifter named Gwen. Grover knew she was robbing him blind, but couldn't seem to catch her in the act. This continued for quite a number of years until, as fortune would have it, one day he caught her redhanded stealing a bag of fresh peaches. Grover gleefully awaited his day in court when at long last he would witness Gwen receive her comeuppance. Sitting across from Gwen in court, Grover stared smugly, anxious to hear the judge's sentence passed down. ""What is the crime?"" the judge inquired. ""Stealing a bag of peaches, your honor."" Grover replied. ""And how many peaches were in the bag?"" the judge continued. ""Six, your honor."" Grover stammered. The judge slammed his gavel down and thundered toward Gwen, ""I hereby sentence you to serve one day per item stolen behind bars! I'll see you back here in six days!"" Grover stared incredulously. Six days?! After all the grief and sleepless nights she had caused him? Completely beside himself, he blurted out, ""Your honor, she also stole a can of peas!!""
