Write about a time when you lost something expensive,but gained a valuable lesson

“I cannot seem to find it!” I shouted across the basketball court.

My phone rang while I was playing computer games. It was my friend Tom, on the phone and he asked me whether I wanted to go out to play basketball with some of his friends. I asked him to wait as I had to ask my mother for permission first. When I asked my mother, she was worried at first but I told her that I would take care of myself as I was already a primary six student. I picked up the phone and told my friend that I would be at the basketball court in thirty minutes

Thirty minutes passed and all of my friends were there and we started our match. Accidentally, while I was shooting the ball, I fell on the ground with a loud thud because it just rained and the floor was slippery. My pants were wet and because I was afraid that I would wet my new hand phone, I placed it on the bench. We continued the match for about fifteen minutes and while I turned to the bench, I could not see my hand phone. I ran towards the bench and took out my friend’s bag and wish it was underneath it but it was not.

I was very nervous as the phone was bought for just a few months and I was afraid to be scolded by my parents. We all ran to second hand shops which sell hand phones nearby but could not find any clues. I walked back home desperately and await to face the music.
