A funny thing happened to my sister Tina last month. She lives in Japan and teaches English. In Japan, people don't usually wear their outdoor shoes in the house or in school, and a lot of buildings have places for shoes. So her school has a special place for shoes.
One Friday, she went to school, and she put her shoes in the shoe box—as usual. Then she had an interesting spoken English class with her students. But to her surprise, her shoes weren't in the box. There was only another pair of shoes there, and they weren't her shoes! She had to get home in a hurry.
On Monday, at her next English class, her shoes were in a shopping hag on her desk! There was a note that said, "I'm so sorry. I took your shoes by mistake!" Somebody felt a lot of shame. "
| A. It's a shoe box. B. Tina teaches English in the evening. C. So she put on the shoes and left. D. After class she got ready Io leave. E. But there was no name on the note. |
