W: [6]Sir, I’d like to report a theft.
M: Okay. Can you tell me exactly what happened? The more details, the better.
W: Well, I was walking home from work, enjoying the nature all around me... the birds, the frogs, the flowing stream...
M: Okay... Okay... Could you please go straight to the point? Just tell me what happened. I mean, about the theft. For example, what time was it?
W: [7]I’m not quite sure. Probably 7:00 p.m.... No, no, it should be 8:00. My mom called me at 7:45, and after about 15 minutes the whole thing just happened.
M: Tell me what happened.
W: I was going home and someone knocked me right off my feet, grabbed my stuff, and ran off through the trees. [8]I was so surprised by the ordeal that I didn’t go after the person.
M: Where exactly were you at that time?
W: [6]I was walking through the park, quite near here. It is located between the subway station and my apartment. I walk through it every day and I’ve never encountered anything like that before! What a day for me!
M: Can you describe the person? The height, the appearance, the dressing, anything that you can remember...
W: Let me see... First, she’s very tall. Almost 6 feet, I think. I’ve never seen a woman taller than her.
M: Wait. You said a woman robbed you.
W: Well, I’m not really sure. [9]You see, the person was wearing a white and black polka dot dress, a light red sweater over it, and she or he was wearing a pair of sneakers.
M: Humm. What else can you tell me? It is better for you provide as many details as possible, madam.
W: Okay. Like I said, the person was about 6 feet tall, heavy build, with long wavy hair. She or he was probably in his or her late 30’s. I didn’t get a good look at the person’s face. Everything just happened so quickly... but well... um...
M: But what? Was there something else?
W: Well, [9]the person had a beard. Yeah, the person had a beard.
M: Ah! What was, uh, taken... exactly?
W: [10]Well, just my left shoe. I carried a bag with me, and there are a cellphone and a wallet in it. But the person just grabbed my left shoe. Bizarre, isn’t it?
M: Ah. The "bearded woman" has struck again!
W: The "bearded woman"?
M: Yeah. [9]It’s this man who dresses up like a woman and, for some reason, removes the left shoe from his victims. He’s really quite harmless, though, and he usually returns the shoe to the crime scene a couple of days later.
W: He can keep my shoe, and I’ll just take off my left shoe every time I walk through the park.
