"Robbed at Orchard Road! Felix Chua P4 Mee Toh Primary School
"I wonder what John would like for his birthday." I mumbled to myself as I strolled along Orchard Road underpass. It was a crowded Sunday as the Singapore Sale was on.
I was at the Orchard Road underpass walking along there thinking what to buy for John. "Maybe , I will get him a Smiggle pencil case." I exclaimed at the idea. Suddenly, from not far ahead of me, I heard a melodious tune within the underpass. I saw a visually handicapped man playing the guitar. I walked forward to him and stopped a while to listen to the melodious music. I was about to take out my wallet to donate some money when suddenly a man snatched the donation box from the handicapped man.
Momentarily, I was shocked . I stood rooted to the ground before I recomposed myself and ran after him as fast as my legs could carry me. However, I was no match for him. He was too fast for me. An idea struck me , I started shouting," Robbery , catch that man in stripes!! Suddenly, a lot of people join in the chase with me. We joined forces and the cooperation was amazing.
I noticed the robber banged into someone in front, he fell on the floor and was whining in pain. A few of us rushed forward and held him down. He apologized and pleaded for us to not turn him over to the police. The people around me decided to return the donation box back to the handicapped man and let the matter rest.
From that day onwards, I always remembered the incident while walking along the underpass in Orchard road.
