it carefully as he could not come. I was scared that I would lose the money. I
kept it in my notebook. While walking I looked at it every few seconds to make
sure that it was there. To my surprise, when I opened the book half way to the
class, the money wasn't there! I didn't know how I lost it.
I came back all the way searching for it and couldn't find it. I was running
here and there which made a dog mad and it started chasing me. I ran home
crazily. When I reached home, I was panting and crying terribly. I was still
in shock that when my grandparents asked me what happened, I just said "Dog...
