One cold night, after attending a birthday party, Ann walked home along the quiet road.Suddenly from the shade of a dark building, a tall man with a knife in his right hand ran out at her and then said in a cool voice, "Give me your earring or you will die."

Hearing this, Ann seemed less worried, and after a minute, she became calm.She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (領子) of her overcoat.She wanted to make the robber think she cared for the necklace than for the earrings.Then she used the other hand to take off both of her expensive earrings, which she quickly threw on the ground.

"Take them and let me go," she said.The robber looked at her.He saw the girl didn't care for earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace.He thought the necklace would cost much more.So he said, "Give me your necklace," "Oh, sir, it's not worth much. Please let me keep it," she begged."Stop talking, quickly," said the robber.
