As the lady stopped running,
she looked back and saw
a man, annoyed and cunning,
running towards her and yelling, with a crooked jaw.
He shouted "Stop!"
She said "No, you will hand me to a cop".
He caught his breath and said "You should be caught for the crime you have done."
She replied "I did it for my loved one. "
She had stolen a ring
from the man's shop named Goldspring.
She pleaded "I am sorry for this.
I did amiss.
I wanted money
for my child, has broken one knee.
I can't see my child in that situation.
And I understand your frustration. "
He replied "I understand mother's love
But, stealing is what I am of."
He gave her the money for the therapy.
She couldn't believe the generosity.
She assured to repay.
For she had determined to work tirelessly, every night and day.
