 Mrs Green was walking along a San Francisco street. Suddenly a man took her purse and ran. Mrs. Green was very angry. She had ten dollars, her bus pass, and the keys to her house in her purse. Mrs. Green ran after the thief. The thief ran one block (街区), two blocks, three blocks. The thief was a young man, so he could run fast. Mrs. Green was not a young woman - she was 73 years old - but she could run fast, too. Mrs. Green stayed right behind the thief. Mrs. Green was wearing two chopsticks in her hair. The chopsticks had sharp (尖的) ends. Mrs. Green took the chopsticks out of her hair. "Maybe I can stab (刺，戳) the thief with these chopsticks," she thought. "Then he will drop my purse." The thief ran into a building. Mrs. Green followed him. "Help! Stop him!" she shouted. "He has my purse!" Two police officers were walking near the building. They heard Mrs. Green and ran to help her. One police officer stayed with Mrs. Green. The other police officer ran after the thief. The police officer found the thief at the corner of the building. The thief was looking in Mrs. Green's purse. When he saw the police officer, the thief dropped the purse and ran away. A few minutes later the police officer caught the thief.
