input: Please answer the following: W: No, I never. But ... M: Wow! You coat's got very dirty! Did you fall? W: Yes, I had a terrible experience on the underground train. Listen to this! A man came up to me and pulled out a knife. He pointed it right at me! M: Oh, no! Are you all right? Did he hurt you? W: No, he didn't hurt me, but he took my handbag. M: Then what happened? What did you do? W: I caught hold of his knife, and he pushed me to the floor. M: Oh, no! Why did you catch hold of his knife? That's dangerous. W: I don't know. I didn't think.
