The Lost Wallet

John and Eric walked to the bus stop. They were waiting for a bus. They saw a man. He was running for the bus.

"Is that Mr. Harris?" asked John.

"Yeah, but I don't care. I hate him," said Eric.

Mr. Harris had many things. When he was running for the bus, something fell onto the ground.

Eric and John saw it. Mr.Harris did not see it fall. He got on the bus and the bus left.

Eric and John went to look at it. "What is it?" asked John.

It's Mr. Harris's bag," replied Eric. He picked it up. "Let's look inside it."

"No,"said John. "We shouldn't"

Eric did not listen to his friend. He opened the bag and looked inside. "Hey, there's a wallet.Maybe there's some money in it," he said.

"No," said John again. "Don't open it. It's not ours." But Eric opened the wallet.

I read a book, The Lost Wallet. This story is very interesthing! John wanted to use Mr Harris' money, while Eric wanted to give it back to him. But in the end, John had used the money. However what they did was come out by their teacher.
