 When the bus ...........................(

III. READING A. Read the following passage and answer the questions below it: (2pts.) 
 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. 
 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 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 look in the hat. 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! 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. 
 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?
