It was around eleven o'clock at night, and Mrs. Jones was walking alone when a young boy suddenly appeared from behind and attempted to grab her purse. The strap (带子) broke with a single pull, combined with the weight of the purse, which caused him to lose his balance. Instead of making a quick escape, he fell on his back, legs flailing (用力地胡乱挥动) in the air. The woman swiftly turned around and delivered a swift kick to his behind. Then, she bent down, picked the boy up by his shirtfront, and shook him until his teeth rattled (咯咯作响) .
Mrs. Jones asked, “What possessed you to do that?” The boy replied, “I didn’t mean to.” She accused him of lying, to which the boy admitted, “I'm sorry, lady.”
The woman then pointed out, “Your face is dirty. Don’t you have anyone at home to remind you to wash your face?” The boy replied, “No, ma’am.” She stated that his face would get washed later in the evening and started to walk up the street, dragging the boy along with her back home.
Upon arriving at her home, Mrs. Jones sent the boy to the washroom for a face wash, finally setting him loose. The boy, who seemed to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, had a thin but strong build and was dressed in tennis shoes and blue jeans. Mrs. Jones thought if he had been her son, she would have taught him right from wrong.
“You gonna take me to jail?” asked the boy, bending over the sink.
“Not with that face,” said the woman. “I was trying to get home to cook me a bite to eat and you took my purse! What do you want the money for?”
The boy admitted he wanted a pair of blue suede (绒面革) shoes, but the woman pointed out that instead of grabbing her purse to obtain them, he could have asked her. The boy was surprised by her response.
