Last month, I went shopping at a large shopping mall in downtown. My daughter was with me. The
important Christmas Day was just around the corner, so the shopping mall was full of people. Many girls
and ladies were hanging their handbags loosely over their shoulders, and I was, too. My mother used to
tell me, “You must carry your handbag close to your body in these places and be careful.” I never listened
to her, and her words always fell on deaf ears.
The shopping mall was having a big sale. Everything was not expensive. I was looking at the clothes
with cute little blue ribbons—I wanted to buy it for a long time. It was 60% off, so I bought one for 1192 NT
dollars that day. I was very happy and didn’t notice a thief was coming close to me. My eyes were on the
clothes and I did not see him.
Unexpectedly, there was a pull on my shoulder. I got hurt and my arm was bleeding. I cried for help.
“Stop him! My handbag! Thief! Thief!” I shouted loudly. A man heard my cry of help and called everyone to
catch the thief. Two young men caught the thief and pushed the thief down.
“Aha! We got you!” the man said happily. My daughter then took my handbag back to me from the
thief. After that, for my safety, I will listen to my mom—“Hang your bag carefully over your shoulder.”
