Last Friday, a friend of mine asked me toaccompany him to buy a new shirt at a department store. We left home at 03.00p.m. by motorcycle. As soon as we arrived there, we went to the clothessection. I let him choose one. An hour later, I got bored watching him confusedin choosing a shirt. So I left him and went to the cassette counter. Thirtyminutes later, I went back to the clothes section but I couldn’t find himthere. My cell phone was broken so I couldn’t call him. I went to the parkingarea. I saw his motorcycle was there but I couldn’t find him. I waited for himfor a few moments then finally I gave up and decided to go home.
