The Lost Phone
One day, Sarah was walking home from school when she realized her phone was missing. She checked her backpack and her pockets, but it was nowhere to be found. She started to panic because she needed her phone to call her mom and tell her she would be home late.
Sarah retraced her steps and looked everywhere, but still couldn’t find her phone. Just when she was about to give up, she heard a faint ringing sound. She followed the sound and found her phone in a bush. It must have fallen out of her pocket when she sat down on a bench to tie her shoe.
