C/
It was a rainy day of November.
We came from school at 2 o’clock.
We weren’t very hungry but we were too cold. While we were walking with my umbrella, we found a coin. We didn’t continue walking. We were a bit nervous. What should we do? Maybe, we had to put the coin where we found it. We did this. We were walking on the street, when a tall man asked us for the coin. We told him that the coin was at the beginning of the street. We didn’t know what was going to happen, so we continued walking.
