Mathew:
|
There she is!
|
|
Sophie:
|
Hello, Petrina. I'm Sophie,
and this is my husband, Mathew. You don't know us, but we're
the people who saw you getting mugged. We saw it all from the
window of our flat and called the ambulance and the police.
|
|
Petrina:
|
Well, hello. It's so nice
of you to come. I can't tell you how grateful I am for what
you both did!
|
|
Mathew:
|
That's OK, we were glad we
could do something to help. We've been worried about you and
wanted to see if you were OK. You had a terrible fall!
|
|
Petrina:
|
I'm OK now, just a bit bruised
and shaken. The doctor was worried about my head, and I've been
having a few tests, just to make sure there's no serious damage.
|
|
Sophie:
|
Oh, that's a relief, I'm so
glad! But your face! Isn't it sore?
|
|
Petrina:
|
Yes, it is a bit sore! But
I feel so stupid. I should have known better than to walk alone
in that street at night.
|
|
Sophie:
|
Oh, Petrina, don't be too
hard on yourself! That street is safe most of the time, and
it was only just dark. How could you have known what would happen?
|
|
Mathew:
|
Yes, Petrina, it's usually
a very quiet and safe street. Nothing like that has happened
there before.
|
|
Petrina:
|
And I shouldn't have struggled
for my bag, either. How stupid!
|
|
Sophie:
|
Oh, don't worry so much! It's
natural to try and hang on. It was just your bad luck that it
happened at all. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
|
|
Petrina:
|
I certainly was!
Oh well, I've learned my lesson. Anyway, I want to say thank
you again.
|
|
Sophie:
|
No worries, Petrina. We were
very glad we could do something.
|
|
Petrina:
|
And thanks for coming to visit
me, too. I feel so much better now after talking to you.
|
|
Mathew:
|
Well, we'll go now and let
you get some rest. Bye, Petrina.
|
|
Sophie:
|
Yes, bye Petrina, and take
care, OK?
|
|
Petrina:
|
Bye, Sophie. Bye, Mathew.
Thanks again.
|
|
Mathew:
|
Well. She seems
OK. She was lucky she wasn't more badly injured, though.
|
|
Sophie:
|
Yes, I agree. She had a lucky
escape, when you think what could have happened. She could have
had permanent brain damage after that fall.
|
|
Mathew:
|
I'm a bit worried myself now,
actually. You know I often get home in the dark.
|
|
Sophie:
|
Yes, I know. You had better
be more careful from now on, hadn't you?
|
|
Mathew:
|
I certainly will!
And if someone wants my wallet, they're welcome to it! I don't
want to end up in hospital!
