T: Wait! Where’d it go?
H: Where’d what go? Did you lose something?
T: My wallet. It’s gone. I don’t have a clue where it went.
H: Are you sure? When was the last time you remember having it?
T: Umm. If my memory serves me right, I took it out on the bus when I paid the bus fare, right?
H: Yeah, that’s the last time I remember seeing it, too. Did you drop it?
T: No, that’s impossible. I put it directly back into my pocket. I remember it clearly.
H: Then, perhaps it was stolen?
T: I think so. I’m usually good at keeping track of my things. I must’ve been robbed.
H: So, what are you going to do now?
T: Well, there’s not much I can do. I might go to the police station and file a report, but I bet that they’d also have no way to solve the case.
H: But aren’t there cameras on all the buses? If we ask the police to check them, then maybe you’d have a shot at getting your wallet back.
T: Hmm. Yeah, you’re right. In that case, let’s go ask the police for help.
H: All right, let’s go.

提姆和海倫在咖啡廳準備要付飲料錢。
提 姆:等等!它跑去哪了?
海 倫:什麼跑去哪了?你弄丟了什麼嗎?
提 姆:我的錢包。它不見了。我不知道它去哪了。
海 倫:你確定嗎?你還記得上一次拿著它是什麼時候嗎?
提 姆:嗯。如果我沒記錯的話,我在公車上要付車費的時候有把它拿出來,對吧?
海 倫:對啊,我記得我上一次看到它也是那時候。錢包掉到地上了嗎?
提 姆:不,不可能。我直接把它放進口袋裡啊。我記得非常清楚。
海 倫:那麼,可能被偷走了?
提 姆:我是這麼覺得。通常我相當會注意自己的東西在哪裡。我一定是被搶了。
海 倫:所以你現在要怎麼辦?
提 姆:嗯,我也不能做什麼。我可能會去警察局報案,但我打賭他們也無法破案。
海 倫:但每個公車上不是都有攝影機嗎?如果我們請警察檢視一 下,那麼你就有可能找回你的錢包了。
提 姆:嗯。是啊,妳說的沒錯。那樣的話,我們去尋求警察協助吧。
海 倫:好啊,我們走。 (海倫起身離開。提姆看起來有點驚慌。)
提 姆:等一下,海倫!能不能麻煩妳借我點錢付我的咖啡?
