The prompts (in bold print) for the link depiction about mugging were completed by different students in the following way:

  • If I were Selma, I wouldn’t give the money to E.T.
  • If only s/he hadn’t given her money to Austin!
  • If Selma isn’t here I’ll come another time, I think s/he will see me.
  • If she didn’t become the money, I think s/he will not be mugged.
  • If I would be Selma, I think s/he won’t give the money to her daughter.
  • If she were more carefully, I think s/he won’t be mugged by the thief.
  • If Selma would give the money to Zoë, I think s/he won’t be mugged by Laura.
  • If she will have the money, she have to look after, I think s/he would have it later.
  • If she were more careful I think s/he would could keep the money.
  • If she isn’t so carefree I think s/he wouldn’t mug her.
  • If Zoë would receive the money, she would be very happy. I think s/he wouldn’t have it a long time because a robber will mug her.
  • I would spend all the money to the African children if I were her/him.
  • I wouldn’t spend any money for the charity if I were her/him.
