You’ll never guess what happened to me today. And I promise I’m not making ^it up! I was in the shop ‘Hats and Things’ at lunchtime. There was a tall woman in the shop. She was trying on hats. She picked up a blue one and put on. I remember thinking it looked good on her. I had tried on some gloves and was just taking off. The woman came over, picked up some gloves and put on too. The she started looking at some bags. She dropped one on the floor by my feet. I bent down to pick up and when I turned round she was just going out. And she was still wearing the clothes! I ran out to stop her taking away, but then I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder. It was the shop owner. I was still holding the bag! And he started telling off while the woman got away!
