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?
