He replied, “Noidea, man. It was just suddenly there.” “What? Let me see yourwallet!” I shouted.

Then, I opened it and learned that the wallet was mine. I justremembered that we had the same wallets and they even had the samecolor. “This is mine,” I told him. “No way! Are you sure?” he asked.I showed him a card from the wallet and said, “Look, this is mystudent ID card. Just a while ago I was thinking why my money wasall gone.” “Sorry, man. I didn’t know that it wasn’t mine. But,don’t worry I haven’t bought anything with that. Only this icecream,” He explained with an innocent look. I took my wallet andsaid, “It is okay. I’m sorry you don’t have any cash now. Here, take20 thousands and buy some more ice cream with it. Oh, and here’syour wallet.” “Cool! Thanks, man!” he replied. Yes, I hate his beingcareless.

Last year, my family and I visited our relatives inGreece. We flew to Athens via Singapore. After two hours fromAthens, we arrived in Hydra where our relatives were.

After Hydra, we visited Santorini by ferry.Then we took a high speed catamaran to Mykonos.

At least, in Mykonos they have taxis and buses so we didnot have to walk to go everywhere. From Myconos we flew to theisland of Skiathos where we spent a lovely week visitingbeaches and eating wonderful Greek food. Finally, it was timeto go back to athens and end our trip. After wandering aroundthe old part of the city and taking lots of photos of theAcropolis and other ancient Greek monuments and statue, we hadto get my taxi to the airport.

My brother and I shouted and shouted, “Come on, Valley School! Come on, the Valleys!” Our headmaster was near us and he was shouting too. He seemed veryenthusiastic.
