The Bank
My name's Tony and I'm a photographer. I work
for a big newspaper in the city. Yesterday morning I was going to a hotel in
town to take some pictures of famous singers. I was walking past the bank and I
suddenly decided to go in because I needed to get some money to buy lunch
later. But when I was inside I knew
something was wrong. There was a man wearing a black sweater. I couldn't see
his face but he was holding a big plastic bag. A woman was putting money into
it. I knew then that he was stealing the money so I shouted 'Stop that right now!'
He turned round and I took his picture. He was very surprised! He just dropped
the money and then, before I could catch him, he ran out of the bank. Everyone
said they thought I was very brave and they thanked me. Then a policeman arrived and asked me lots
of questions. Someone told him that I had a picture of the man. But the
policeman asked, 'Why did you take his picture?' and said it was a dangerous
thing to do. I felt stupid. Then the policeman took my camera away so I didn't
get my photos of famous people that day!
