MY MOST EMBARRASSING EXPERIENCE
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 though I would look great in it.
My father new 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 one. I got on the bus and sat down next to a schoolboy about my age. The boy glanced at me and turned away. There was a sneaky look on his face, but I didn’t think much about it. I was busy imagining how I would in the hat. After a while, I turned around and noticed that the boy’s school bag 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! 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 shoolboy’s bag, without saying a word about it. So I carefully put my hand into the boy’s bad, took the notes and put them in my own bag.
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.
