As I am a big fan of Agatha Christie, let me share with you an interesting story

about her. The famous writer never forgot that night when she met a robber many

years ago. That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until 2o'clock in the

morning. Agatha walked in the quiet street alone. Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a

tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her.

a low voice,

“What do you want?” Agatha asked.

“Your earrings. Take them off!”

Agatha suddenly had a bright idea. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar(

衣领）

of

her coat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings and then she quickly threw

them on the ground.

“Take them and let me go,” she said. The robber saw that the girl didn’t care for

the earrings

at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He thought the necklace would cost more, so he said,

With shaky hands, Agatha took off her necklace. As soon as the robber disappeared, she

picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her

friends. In fact, the earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only

six pounds.
