Bernadette, Jeff and Faisal wee at the bustling shopping centre. There were so
many attractions at the shopping centre that the three children
had a ball simply walking about the place.
They went to the book store, where Bernadette wanted to pick out a good science
fiction story book. Jeff said he would met the two of them there in a while
because he had to go to the 'Gents'. He then
handed over his wallet to Faisal for safe keeping, in case he dropped on his
way. Bernadette was pleased to have found her book. Unfortunately, she
realised that she was two dollars short of its price. She begged Faisal to lend
her some cash to get the book because she knew she would not have the time to
look for it again in future. Faisal kindly obliged
her request and took out his wallet. However, he was unaware that he was
actually taking money from Jeff's wallet instead.
When Jeff returned from the 'Gents', he promptly realised that the only two
dollars in his wallet was missing. he immediately turned to Faisal and rashly
accused Faisal of stealing his money. Faisal was shocked at his friend's fierce
accusation. They instantly began to argue. Bernadette, who knew what went wrong,
stepped in to explain the situation to Jeff. Through her explanation, both boys
saw that it was a simple misunderstanding. Faisal did not in fact steal Jeff's
money. they apologised to each other and everything was back to normal. |
