Everything was running well when we set out, until there was an old woman who walked too close to the middle of the road. From the opposite direction there was a car which drove very fast. If we kept going, we would collide with the car, but if we stopped suddenly, we would hit the old woman. I didn’t know how it could happen. My father hit the old woman until we dropped.
