Boy: Last week I was looking for a present for my friend Amy. She’s quite fussy, but I found a nice scarf in a clothes store. I was about to pay for it, when I noticed a £10 note on the floor. I handed it to the shop assistant and she said she’d keep it in case anyone came back for it.

I bought a baseball cap yesterday. But as I was leaving the shop, I noticed that the shop assistant had overcharged me. I was paying by card and I didn’t check the amount before I entered my PIN. It said £10 on the price ticket, but she charged me £15. I complained, but it didn’t help. She said, “You can have all the money back but I can’t sell it to you for £10.” I bought it anyway, but I’m glad I did. It’s a really cool cap.

It’s always a mistake to buy things in a sale. I always ask myself, “Would you buy it if it was full price?” If the answer is “No, probably not”, then I don’t buy it. There’s a lovely leather jacket that I want but it costs so much! I only get £6 a week from my parents so it’ll be a while before I can afford it. I’m sure Dad would lend me the money if I asked him, but I’d rather not.
