1) Who is on the platform?

Tell me Max. How was your train journey? It was really exciting. Oh! tell me more. Well, I was waiting at the platform, there was this old lady with the big suitcase. Next to her were two men. And one of the men had a small suitcase.

2) Who’s on the train?

I see. And did you get on the same train as the old lady? Yes I helped her with her suitcase. And guess what, the two men from the platform were also in our compartment. So there was the old lady, the two men and you. That’s right.

3) What happened after the tunnel? So, what happened? Well, a few minutes later there was a tunnel. And after the tunnel there was only one man in compartment. And I saw that old lady’s big suitcase wasn’t there anymore. So I told her. I can’t believe it. And was the other man there? Yes he was. What about the small suitcase? Yes, that was there too.

4) What happened at the station? So, did someone call the police? Yes, when I said the suitcase was missing. The man phoned the police. So at the next station, the police officers were waiting for the man with the big suitcase. Did the old lady get her suitcase back? Yes, one police officer took the suitcase and gave it back to the old lady on the train. The other police officer stayed on the platform with the thief.
