An elderly lady was walking in the street, when she was knocked down by a young man on a bicycle!

Instead of apologizing and helping her up, he laughed and slowly continued on his way...
Surprised, the poor woman called out to him loudly:

“Young man, you dropped something!"

He immediately turned around, looking for what he could've dropped ...
