I have a friend named Sara. She is such a formidable girl so everyone was afraid to be friend with her. One day, when she was walking back from our reunion suddenly there were two mans seized her handbag. She fell down and her head knocked on the hard stone. After that incident, we met occasionally and I was astonished when I found out that she had turn into a lunatic.
