The Case of the Disappeared Wallet - Part 2 By Cristiano
Robert Holmes went to Shirley and said: "Have you seen my wallet? I left it in the pocket of my jacket in the clothes-stand in front of the door."
"How could I have seen it if I have been in bed all morning? - Shirley replied - maybe you left it someplace and you don't remember where." "I must find it - he said - there were $5,000.00 inside that I had just retired from the bank!"
"I'd be happy to help you dad, but I now have a temperature and I'm very tired." "Don't worry - Robert said going away - sleep!" The days passed by and the wallet remained lost. Shirley was much better, but she still had a little bit of temperature. Bo didn't come back to visit her, but was a little bit worried. Just that afternoon he came with a box of choccolate and said: "Well, how are you?" Shirley said: "I'm better, and maybe tomorrow, I'll be back at school."
"Good!" Bo exclaimed. At that time Robert arrived but didn't greet neither Shirley nor Bo. "He seems angry - he said - what's the matter with him?"
"He lost his wallet - Shirley answered - since almost a week."
"I see. Heaven knows who's stolen it."
The next morning Shirley was very well and went back to school. When she come back home, she asked: "Dad, have found your wallet?"
"No, - did Robert Holmes answer- I still haven't." "Well,  now I can help you!"
