It's March 10th. My brother and I take a train to Dalian for a short trip. There are lots of people, so it's noisy on the train. My brother is very happy, because it's his first time to take a train. He looks around the people on the train. I just enjoy reading my favorite storybook.
An hour later, I see a man with black glasses coming to us. He's a little thin. He stops next to a girl and puts his right hand into the girl's bag quickly. I want to call the police, but the train stops at that time. The man gets off the train quickly.
When the train starts(启动) again, the girl says, "Where is my money? I can't find it!" I'm sorry I don't have time to call the police. But I describe what the man looks like to the girl. I really hope the police can get the criminal soon.
