She wanted to have a red hat - a

floppy cotton hat like the one her
pop star idol wore in her video clip.
My most embarrassing experience happened
a few years ago when I was a grade 9
student. In those days, my biggest dream was
a red hat- a floppy cotton hat like the one my
pop star idol wore in her video clip. I thought
I would look great in it.
Why did her father give her some money
on her birthday?

Her father gave her some money so

that she could buy the hat she
dreamt of.
My father knew this, so on my birthday he gave me
some money so that I could buy the hat for myself. I
was extremely excited and decided to go to the
shop at once. I got on the bus and sat down next to
a schoolboy about my age. The boy glanced at me
and tumed away. There was a sneaky look on his
face, but I didn't think much about it. I was busy
imagining how I would look in the hat
What did she see in the boy’s bag?
She saw a wad of dollar notes exactly
like the ones her father had give her.
After a while, I turned round and noticed that
the boy's schoolbag was open. Inside it, I saw
a wad of dollar notes exactly like the ones my
father had given me. I quickly looked into my
own bag - the notes had gone!
Why did she decide to take the money from the
boy’s bag without saying anything about it?

Because she was sure that the boy was

a thief and he had stolen her money
and she didn't want to make a fuss.
I was sure that the boy was a thief. He had
stolen my money. I didn't want to make a
fuss, so I decided just to take my money back
from the schoolboy's bag, without saying a
word about it. So I carefully put my hand into
the boy's bag, took the notes and put them
in my own bag.
What did she do with the money?

She bought the pretty hat

of her dream.
With the money I bought the pretty hat of my dreams.
When I got home, I showed it to my father.
"How did you pay for it?" he asked.
"With the money you gave me for my birthday, of
course, Dad," I replied.
"Oh? What's that then?" he asked, as he pointed to a
wad of dollar notes on the table.
Can you imagine how I felt then?
