Hello, Joan. Why are you late today? You are never late for work.
No, I never. But ...
Wow! You coat's got very dirty! Did you fall?
Yes, I had a terrible experience on the underground train. Listen to this! A man came up to me and pulled out a knife. He pointed it right at me!
Oh, no! Are you all right? Did he hurt you?
No, he didn't hurt me, but he took my handbag.
Then what happened? What did you do?
I caught hold of his knife, and he pushed me to the floor.
Oh, no! Why did you catch hold of his knife? That's dangerous.
I don't know. I didn't think.
What did the other passengers do? Did they help you?
Yes, they did. Two men ran after the robber and held him.
Did the police come?
Yeah. The conductor called a policeman, and he took the robber to the police station.
