Hello, everyone. Today I am going to Japan. Now, let’s pick up my luggage. I packed my clothes, notebooks, laptop, and now I must take the most important thing in my luggage. It’s a stone, but it’s not a normal one. Let’s check it out. It has to be protected.
Oh, my flight is boarding. Let’s go.
“Hello, madam. Can I check your luggage?”
“Yes, you can. Here you are.”
“Okay, but what is that?”
“Oh, please be careful.”
“Oh, that’s the liner’s bag, right?”
“Yes, you’re right.”
“Is everything okay with my suitcase?”
“Yes, it’s okay. Next, please.”

Okay, let’s go to my plane.
Oh, I think I should check my ticket.
It’s Z1436. Okay, let’s find my seat.

Ten minutes later…

“Hello, can I take your suitcase?”
“Yes, you can. Here you are.”
“What’s your name?”
“My name is Zaina.”
“Okay, I see your name on the suitcase. Next, please.”

Five minutes later…

Okay, let’s check the clock.
Oh, it’s 12:57 p.m.
I’m very sleepy. Let’s sleep.

Three hours later…

I’m still very sleepy. Let’s eat something and check the clock.
It’s 3:57 p.m.

Oh, what’s for dinner?
Meat, vegetables, yogurt, and an apple.
Yummy!

After dinner, I go back to sleep.

Six hours later…

“Hello, you have five minutes until the plane lands. You will be in Japan soon.”
“Oh, okay. Let’s get up and take my suitcase.”

“Hello, can I help you?”
“Yes, I want to take my suitcase.”
“Your name is Zaina, right?”
“Yes.”
“Wait a minute. Your suitcase is number 1462.”
“Okay, thank you.”

“Ha, little girl. I was joking.”

A man takes her suitcase, but Zaina sees him.

“Hey! Give me my suitcase!”
“Oh no! What’s that?”
“Hello, Mr. White. I took the stone.”
“Good boy. Now I must go, because only she can control the stone.”

The man goes to the city to find Zaina. He shows himself as a police officer.

“Hello, madam. You have to come with me.”
“Why?”
“I’m a police officer.”
“Show me your ID, please.”
“If you cause trouble, you will go to court.”
“Okay, I believe you.”

Suddenly, Zaina realizes her suitcase is gone.

“Welcome, Zaina White.”
“You lied! You are not a police officer. You are the suitcase man!”
“Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t know your name, but I know you are silly.”
“I’m Jack Sprite.”

Suddenly, real police officers arrive.

“I’m Officer Annie. You tricked us.”
“You know what they say: good guys win, bad guys lose.”
The End
