Five-year-old Susie loved to listen to her older sister, Emma, play the piano. Susie wanted to play it, too. But every time Susie asked to play, her mother would tell her how much work it needed to learn to play the piano well. Susie was sure she could learn to play it. She decided to make her mother believe that she was ready（准备好的）to learn to play the piano, so Susie helped her mom do the dishes and clean the house.

I went to the park with my older sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a bench (长椅) when we played games. When we went back to the bench, a little girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She looked like she was 8 or 9 and had long blonde hair. She had some money in her hand. When she saw us, she got up and walked away.

I asked my sister, “Did you have any money in your jacket?”

“Yes, Anna, I did.”

I said, “Have a quick look in your jacket.”

Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there.

“That girl stole (偷) it!” I said, and we ran after her. We caught (抓住) her soon.

My sister was very angry and she said, “Give me the money!” The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away. Then we went home. But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, “You left your money at home. It’s on the table in the kitchen.” So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief (小偷)! Maybe she thought we were bad girls.

We felt terrible!

Please call us if you know this girl. We would like to say sorry to her and give the money back to her. Our number is 512667. Thank you very much.
