--- Lesson 44 Through the forest |
| [00:06.720] |
--- First listen and then answer the question. |
| [00:12.720] |
--- How did Mrs.Sterling get her bag back? |
| [00:19.000] |
Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. |
| [00:28.960] |
They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. |
| [00:39.760] |
In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. |
| [00:50.760] |
Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. |
| [00:55.560] |
She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run. |
| [01:01.480] |
When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, |
| [01:09.160] |
so she ran straight at them. |
| [01:12.000] |
The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. |
| [01:17.600] |
'The strap needs mending,'said Mrs. Sterling later,^“ |
| [01:22.400] |
'but they did not steal anything.'^“ |
