It was raining cats and dogs. We were listening to our teacher's voice that droned on and on."Ring....Ring...."the school bell rang. The children in their classes immediately ran out for it was dismissal time. James did not bring an umbrella ,he quickly ran to the hawker centre for shelter.
As he was drying himself off something caught his eye........ James saw a young man in his late thirties who looked shabby. His body language revealed that he was a ruffian . An old man, who was a cleaner, named Lychee went to the ruffian and pointed out to him that he was not allowed to smoke in the hawker centre. This made the ruffian angry. So he started spewing vulgarities at old man Lychee. Mr. Lychee tried to calm him down but no avail. This made the young man mad. In fury, he stood up and threatened to throw the beer bottles at Mr. Lychee. Mr. Lychee in defence picked up a nearby chair to defend himself.
The situation got out of hand soon enough. James quickly whipped out his mobile phone and dialled for the police as quickly as he could with shaking hands. Meanwhile the people close to the fight quickly scrambled away, in fear of getting hit by shards of broken glass. Bottle after bottle, the ruffian threw whatever he could take bowls, chopsticks, plates, cups, and cans. James could see that the old man could not last long against the young man as he had cuts, bruises and injuries.
At the eleventh moment, the police arrived just in time to see the old man fall to the ground with injuries all over, paramedics rushed over and treated to his wounds and sent him off to the hospital as soon as possible. The police thanked James and commended on his quick thinking and fast-action.
The next morning, James received news that the old man survived although the injuries and that the ruffian was sentenced very heavily for severely injuring the old man. James was happy that the old man survived and would live to see another day.
