One afternoon a month ago, I was very hungry. As I didnt cook anything to eat lunch,
I decided to go to a cafe about a hundred meters from my boarding house.
I changed my trousers and shirt then left for the cafe myself because my roommate
hadnt come yet from the school. As sson as I got to the cafe, I ordered the meal with fresh
vegetable soup that seemed very delicious in the hot day, and also a glass of tea. When they
were served, I ate up eagerly the meal and soup and drank the tea. I was satisfied and it was
the time to pay. I grapped my trousers pocked and I was schocked. My hands didnt feel
there was any wallet there. I felt so embarrassed that I didnt dare to see the faces of the
customers. My body stayed still on the chair and began sweating.
I tried to control myself in front of the people. I collected my courage to come to the
cashier to say something. Feeling uneasy, I told her that I left my wallet in the other trousers
at the boarding house and promised to take it and come back soon. Some customers looked
at me. I thought I must hide my face. She nooded and said it naot a matter.
Finally I ran to the house and got back with the money. I gave it to her and came out
of the cafe. What a relief! It should not happen again to me.

There was once a mouse traveling through the forest. Before he knew, it was trotting
over the paws of a sleeping lion. The lion woke up and grabbed the mouse in his sharp claws.
Please dont eat me! begged the mouse. Ill never bother you again. And who
knows? I may be able to do you a good turn one day.
The lion laughed, Youre too small to help a big lion! But I like your spirit. Run along
now, and stay out of trouble in the future. The grateful mouse scampered off.
Some time later, the lion ran into a trap and found himself caught in a strong net. The
more he struggled the tighter the rope became. Soon the poor lion lay completely helpless.

his head sadly. Im afraid the hunters will be along soon. That will be the end of me.
