Diary Entry
Dear Diary
It was a tense day today. A couple came to my shop to buy an engagement
ring. Their pet monkey secretly followed them. The girl monkey slipped into the
shop without being noticed. She took a pearl necklace and put it around her
neck. As we tried to get back the necklace from her, she rushed out into the
market. All of us followed her. Many people joined us to catch the monkey, but
none could. Lastly, the monkey threw the necklace into the canal. I lost hope
of getting it back. But the customer jumped into the canal, traced the necklace
and returned it to me. All is well that ends well!
Till we meet again....
