The most embarrassing moment of my life (Richard, Austin)

Part 1
When I was about nine years old,
I used to go to the movies every
Saturday morning – in those days it
was very popular. After the movie had
ended, I would go to a toy shop and
look at model planes and trains, and
sometimes I bought them with the
money that I had been carefully saving.
One day after the movie, I went to a
big department store to look at the
model planes they had. I didn’t buy
anything, but as I was leaving a very
large man grabbed my arm violently
and accused me of shoplifting. The
man said that he was a store detective.
Because I had been concentrating on
the toys, I hadn’t noticed that he had
been watching me. He made me empty
my pockets and he went through my
coat, searching for stolen goods, even
though I told him very clearly that I had
only been looking. Of course he didn’t
find anything, but by this time several
people had stopped to see what was
happening. I felt very embarrassed and
humiliated that so many people were
looking at me, and I was very glad to
leave the store when it was all over.

b Complete the second part of the story with the correct form of the verbs in parentheses: simple
past, past continuous, past perfect, or past perfect continuous.
