44課 Through the forest
    Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. Theyhad rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and triedto steal her handbag. In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but shecontinued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag andran away. 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs. Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'
