Q: Dialogue: M: Thanks for agreeing to this interview,Mrs. Rogers. My teacher wants me to interview someone who lived during the 1940s. W: Of course, Joey. What's your first question? M: Well,where were you living in 1940? W: In Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I was born and raised. M: Did you live with your family? W: Yes,with my parents and my younger brother. In 1943,I moved to Washington D. C. by myself. I got a job as a typist for a newspaper. M: What was D. C. like? W: It was an exciting time to be living there.

Dialogue: Man: Yes, I'd like to report a theft. Police Officer: Okay. Can you tell me exactly what happened. Man: Well, I was walking home from work two days ago, enjoying the nature all around me ... the birds, the frogs, the flowing stream ... [Okay, Okay] when this woman knocked me right off my feet, grabbed my stuff, and ran off through the trees. [Hmm]. I was so surprised by the ordeal that I didn't go after her. Police Officer: Yeah. Can you describe the woman for me? Man: Yeah. He was about a hundred and ninety centimeters tall ... Police Officer: Wait. You said a woman robbed you. Man: Well, I'm not really sure. [Hmm]. 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 basketball shoes. Police Officer: Humm. What else can you tell me? Man: Okay. Like I said, the person was about 190 centimeters 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, but well ... uh .... Police Officer: What? Was there something else? Man: Well, the person ... had a beard. Police Officer: Ah! What was, uh, taken ... exactly? Man: Well, just my left shoe. Bizarre, isn't it? Police Officer: Ah. The "bearded woman" has struck again! Man: The "bearded woman"? Police Officer: Yeah.

Question: Who is the "bearded woman"? - a man who dresses up like a woman - a woman who robs men in the park - a man who lives in the park
