The Day I Lost My Wallet

When I was seven years old, I was given a small wallet to keep my pocket-money in safely. It made me feel grown up and I carried it proudly in my hip pocket.

One day, during recess in school, I discovered that my wallet was missing. I searched all my pockets but could not find it. I was close to tears. It was not so much because of losing my precious wallet but because I might get a scolding from my parents.

After recess I was in no mood to study at all. I kept thinking about how I lost my wallet and what my parents would do to me. How was I going to explain the loss? I did not know whether someone had pinched it from my pocket or it had merely fallen out. I prayed that someone would find it and return it to me.

Fortunately, I did not have to pay to get on my school bus. My fare was paid for monthly. When I told my mother about my loss, she was very angry. When my father came home, I received another lecture.

So for the rest of the year and two years following, I carried my pocket-money in my pocket, without having any wallet. I am glad to say I never lost any money again. I had learnt to be more careful and responsible. I had learnt that it is not pleasant to lose something and then get scolded for losing it.
