[00:01.080]--- 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.'^“
