Task2: Put the pictures of the events in the order they happened in the story 
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 give me. I quickly looked into my own bag- the note had gone! It 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, take 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 the?” he asked, as he pointed to a wad of dollar notes on the table 
Can you imagine how I felt then?
