1. The bag-snatcher

One Saturday afternoon in a small town, Emma Carter came out of a shoe shop with some new shoes. They were cheap shoes, but Emma was very pleased with them. She was seventy-three years old and did not have much money. She began to walk home. 'A nice cup of tea,' she thought, 'and then I can go for a walk in my new shoes.'

It was a quiet town and there was nobody in the street. Suddenly, Emma heard something behind her. She did not have time to look, because just then somebody ran up behind her, hit her on the head, and snatched her bag out of her hands. Emma fell down on her back. Then she looked up, and saw a tall young man with long, dirty brown hair. He stood and looked down at her for a second; then he ran away with Emma's bag under his arm.

He ran away with Emma's bag under his arm.

Help! Help!' Emma cried.

But nobody came, and after two or three minutes Emma slowly got up and went to the nearest house. The people there were very kind. They gave Emma a cup of tea, and soon an ambulance came and took her to hospital.

At the hospital a doctor looked at Emma's head and back. 'You're going to be OK,' he said. 'Just take it easy for a day or two. Can your husband help you at home?'

My husband died eight years ago,' said Emma. 'There's only me at home.'

Well,' the doctor said, 'we don't want you to feel ill and fall downstairs at home. So I think you must stay in hospital for tonight, and perhaps tomorrow night, too.' Later, a policeman came to the hospital and Emma told him about the bag-snatcher.

Emma made a picture of the young man's face.

Did anybody see this young man?' he asked.

I don't know,' said Emma. 'But there was nobody in the street when I called for help.'

Oh dear,' the policeman said. 'What was in your bag?'

A little money – and a lottery ticket,' said Emma. 'I buy a ticket every Saturday. Then on Saturday evening I watch the lottery on television. I always have the same numbers –5, 12, 23, 24, 38, 41. All those numbers are important to me. I was born on 5th December, 1923. I lived at number 24 Sandwich Road for 38 years...'

Yes, yes,' said the policeman. 'I understand.' He wrote everything down in a little black book. 'Did you see the man's face?' he asked.

Yes,' said Emma. 'I did. I fell on my back, and he looked down at me for a second. So I saw his face.'

The policeman opened a small bag. In it there were a lot of pictures of eyes and ears, hair and mouths. 'I need a picture of the man's face. Can you help me?' he said.

Yes,' said Emma. 'He was tall and he had long, dirty brown hair. He wore blue trousers and a white shirt with a picture of a footballer. He had brown eyes...' Carefully she took the small pictures and made a big picture of the young man's face. She checked the picture carefully.

What colour were his shoes?' asked the policeman.

Shoes! Suddenly Emma remembered her new shoes. Where were they? She told the policeman about her shoes, but then she began to cry and could not stop.

A nurse came up to Emma's bed. 'Please go now,' she said to the policeman. 'Mrs Carter needs to sleep.'

1. 搶包的歹徒

一座小城的星期六下午,埃瑪·卡特拿著雙新鞋走出了鞋店。鞋子很便宜,不過?,敽軡M意。她73歲了,沒什么錢。她開始往家走。“喝杯好茶,”她想,“然后我可以穿著新鞋子散散步?!?/p>

這是座安靜的小城,街上沒有人。突然,?,斅牭缴砗笥袆屿o。她來不及看,因為就在此時有人飛速地從她身后跑來,照她頭上一擊,從她手里搶走了包。?,斞雒嫠さ乖诘?。隨后她抬眼望去,看到一個高個子的年輕人,頂著一頭臟兮兮的棕色長發(fā)。他站著低頭看了?,斠谎?,便用胳膊夾著她的包跑了。

“救命!救命!”埃瑪喊道。

但是沒人過來。兩三分鐘后,埃瑪慢慢地站起來,向離得最近的人家走去。那家人很友善,他們給了埃瑪一杯茶,很快救護車就來了,把她送到了醫(yī)院。

在醫(yī)院里,一位醫(yī)生檢查了?,?shù)念^和后背?!澳銜闷饋淼??!彼f,“只需休息一兩天。你丈夫能在家照顧你嗎?”

“我丈夫八年前就死了?!卑,斦f,“家里只有我一人。”

“好吧,”醫(yī)生說,“我們可不想你在家生病或摔下樓梯。所以我認為你今晚必須呆在醫(yī)院,或許明晚也是。”過了不久,一名警察來到醫(yī)院,?,攲尠跬降那闆r告訴了他。

“有人看到這個年輕人嗎?”他問。

“我不知道。”?,斦f,“不過我喊救命時,街上沒人?!?/p>

“哎呀!”警察說,“你包里有什么?”

“有一點錢,還有一張彩票?!卑,斦f,“我每周六都會買一張彩票,然后周六晚上看電視上的彩票開獎。我總是買同樣的號碼——5,12,23,24,38,41。這些數(shù)字對我來說都很重要。我的生日是1923年12月5日,我在桑威奇路24號住了38年……”

“好的,好的。”警察說,“我知道了?!彼堰@些都記在一個小黑本上?!澳憧吹侥莻€人的臉了嗎?”他問。

“是的,”?,斦f,“我看到了。我仰面摔在地上,他低頭看了我一眼,所以我看到了他的臉?!?/p>

警察打開了一個小袋子,里面有很多張眼睛、耳朵、頭發(fā)和嘴的圖片。“我需要那個人的臉部圖片。你能幫我嗎?”他說。

“可以。”?,斦f,“他個子高高的,有一頭臟兮兮的棕色長發(fā)。他穿著藍褲子和一件白色襯衫,襯衫上印有一個足球運動員的圖像。他的眼睛是棕色的……”她認真地挑著小圖片,拼出了那個年輕人的臉。她仔細地核對了拼圖。

“他的鞋是什么顏色的?”警察問道。

鞋!突然,?,斚肫鹆怂沦I的鞋。它們在哪兒?她把鞋的事情告訴了警察,然后便哭了起來,難以自持。

一位護士來到?,?shù)拇睬啊!艾F(xiàn)在請離開吧?!彼龑煺f,“卡特太太需要休息?!?/p>
