Since they couldn’t take her on one at a time, each grabbed a limb and hauled her out of the train. The force threw her onto the opposite tracks and what happened thereafter took a matter of seconds. Before she could move her left leg off the track, a train went over it.  After this 49 trains had passed over that girl, as

His father asked, "Can you sell it for two dollars?
