The Strange Man

Ahmed and Ali are sitting in the cafe talking about their English lessons. They are trying to practice describing people. Ahmed points to a man who is going into the bank. Ali looks at him and starts to describe him.
'He's tall and well-built. He's got long blond hair at the back, but he's bald on top. He's got a big nose and blue eyes. He's wearing a blue jacket and jeans. Under the jacket he is wearing a black t-shirt. He's carrying a bag in his right hand. He's carrying a hat in his left hand, I think.'
'I don't think that's a hat,' says Ahmed.
'What is it, then?' asks Ali.
'I think it's a pair of tights!'
'Tights!? Why is he carrying tights?'
Ahmed looks at Ali. 'Maybe he is robbing the bank!'
Two minutes later, the man comes running out of the bank and runs around the corner. The police cars come very quickly. The police see Ahmed and Ali sitting at the cafe.
'Did you see anything?' The police ask.
'Yes', says Ali. 'We saw everything.'
Ali is very happy to help the police. He is very happy he was practicing with his friend.
