The Lost Diary
You nearly make it all the way across the pothole. One of your feet lands inside the hole, causing you to fall heavily to the ground. As you hit the earth, one of the gold pieces your mother gave you flies from your pocket and starts to roll away.
By the side of the road, a scruffy looking young man, possibly a beggar, judging by the state of his torn clothes and appearance, spies your rolling money. His eyes light up and in a flash, he leaps up, dashes over to your coin and picks it up. Glancing briefly at you, he grins wickedly and sets off frantically down the street.
"OI!!! Dat's me friend's coin!" yells Thomas. He looks back at you. "C'mon den. We gotta go git it. Urry up!"
