When John_returned from the shop he felt_satisfied with the presents_he had bought for his friends. He was anticipating how happy his friends would be when he gave them those wonderful gifts. Suddently he realized he had left_one of his packages on the bus. Maybe it fell down while John was daydreaming.
A few minutes later, John noticed a stranger who had been following him. He thought: ‘if I had only chosen another road, I wouldn’t be in this trouble’. The boy decided to hurry up, because he was convinced that if he stopped running, the dangerous man would kill him. However, the stranger was still coming closer and it was clear that sooner or later he would catch up with John.
Without warning, the boy felt someone’s hand on his shoulder. He was scared of being hurt by the unknown man. Nevertheless, the stranger didn’t look like a thief or a killer. Moreover, he was smiling at John and carrying one of John’s packages in his hands.
John was very embarrased and feeling stupid. If only he had known the real intentions of that kind man, he surely wouldn’t have run away. :)
