Lost Wallet
One Saturday morning, Sam felt bored. He did not know what to do. He remembered that he needed to buy a story book for his friend’s birthday. So, he went to the Popular Bookshop near his house.
While
he was browsing through the books, he perspired profusely. So, he took out his
handkerchief. Little did he know that his wallet had dropped out of his pocket.
When he went to make payment, he realised that his wallet was missing. He felt
anxious because there were some money and student card inside his wallet.
Scarlett,
his friend, found a blue wallet lying around the place where Sam was. She then
went to the lost-and-found counter to hand in the wallet that she had found. At
the payment counter, she saw Sam talking to the cashier about his missing
wallet. Scarlett immediately asked him if the blue wallet that she had found
was his. Sam heaved a sigh of relief. He
was grateful that Scarlett found his wallet. Sam learned his lesson and
promised to be more careful with his belongings the next time.

Lost A Wallet At A Bookshop
One Friday afternoon, when the sky was blazing hot, Adam went to a crowded and stuffy bookshop to buy some books for revision.
When he was
browsing through the books, Adam’s forehead had beads of perspiration trickling
down. He took out his handkerchief from
his pocket to wipe the sweat away. Little did he know his wallet had slipped
out from his pocket when he took out his handkerchief.
When he was done
selecting the books, he went to the counter to make payment. He tried to take
out his wallet from his pocket but it was not there. He was anxious to find his
wallet.
There came a staff
member of the bookshop. She had found Adam’s wallet. She was running towards
Adam and said, “Is this your wallet?” Adam said, “Yes!” excitedly. Then, the
staff member returned the wallet to Adam. The staff reminded him not to be
careless again. Adam nodded and thanked the staff member for returning his
wallet to him. After paying for the
things that he wanted to buy, Adam went
home, relieved!
From that day
onwards, he reminded himself to take
care of his belongings properly and be responsible for his belongings always.
