During childhood the happiest thing in my lifetime was when I found my lost coin. This coin was in my pocket, I wanted to buy a piece of sweet. After I reached my destination, the shop, I asked the shopkeeper to give me two pieces of sweet. After he had given them to me, unfortunately I started eating the sweet. By the way the shopkeeper had demanded his money, then tried to take back the money, however I could not find it in my pocket. A lot of fear came to me and I asked the man to forgive me. The man had terrified me and hurt me and then there was a sound on the floor of the shop. As I glanced down it was the lost coin and I cried with happiness.
