Story 22. The Missing Gloves
This year, my mom made me a new pair of gloves for my birthday.
That day, I wore them to the skating rink.
It got quite warm.
Everyone took off their heavy coats and hats.
I took off my new gloves.
I put them safely in my jacket and skated around in my sweater.
When it was time to go home, I picked up my jacket.
But my gloves were gone.
I could not believe it.
I went home and told my parents.
They were upset with me.
I felt terrible.
Later that evening, the doorbell rang.
It was a boy from school.
He had the exact same jacket as me.
I had accidentally picked up the wrong jacket it.
Missing these? he asked as he handed me my gloves and jacket.
I had never been so happy to see a pair of gloves in my whole life.
