Tom.........( notice )it first and.........( pick) it up. He................(open)it and ...........(see) that it.............( contain ) a
lot of cash and jewels in it. Tom ...........(try) to hide it in his suitcase. But Simon ..............(suggest), 'Tom, we are
honest people. We should not keep it with us. Somebody has missed it. We should ask people at the station .If
someone claims and is able to tell the exact details, we shall hand over this bag to him.” No, No, you are a fool.
Everybody will come to claim it as his own bag. I have fond it, so this is mine”, Tom said and we should divide it
into two equal parts. Both of us have found it. We have shared every moment, every
food, and every joy here together. Therefore, we should divide the cash and jewels also into two parts to enjoy
together”. I don't agree with you, Simon said. Perhaps it belongs to a thief. We should inform police. Meanwhile
the train................( arrive) at the station. Tom and Simon ............(get )on. They...........( sit ) on their seats, they
............( are ) at ease and began talking to each other. Time was rolling on. When they were talking to each other
,they began feeling sleepy .After sometime the train .............(halt) at the next station. Suddenly they ............( see
) some policemen entering their compartment. Tom..........( is)frightened to see them. He...........( try ) to put his
suitcase behind his back. Tom............(whisper) in Simon's ear, 'We are in great trouble. It seems that the bag has
a problem. The police have come. Please don't try to involve me. I have got nothing to do with the bag. You
............(do) not listen to me when I asked you to find out the owner and hand over the bag to him and now when
you feel that you are going to land in an unpleasant situation, you want to share the unpleasantness with me. Very
clever”!The police..........( see ) lines of fear in Tom's face and ............( become )suspicious about him.
They............(search)his belongings and ...........( find ) the bag. This .............( is ) the bag they had come
searching for. They ...........( arrest)him and..............(send)him to jail.
