Correct the story (修改故事)
Stop thief!
Rov Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago,
however, he became a bus-driver and he was not regretted it. He
is finding his new work far more exciting. When he drove along
Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop
and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag
full of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at
the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he
dropped the bag. As the thieves tried to get away in their car,
Roy was driving his bus into the back of it. While the battered
car moved away, Roy was stopping his bus and telephoned the
police. The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to
recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and
both men were arrested.
