Everyone knew I was a chocoholic. Everyday, I would pass by this shop to buy my favourite chocolate bar, Snickers. But one day, when I was about to buy my chocolate, I saw this brand new MP4 player. It was a cool shiny gadget. Small and portable. I remembered almost everyone in my class had it. I walked forward to check the price. To my astonishment, it was $200! After buying my chocolate, I hurriedly rush home.

Upon my arrival, I entered my house and my dog (which I call Snickers cause he looked like one) rushed up to me and licked me on the face. Its saliva was cold but disgusting. I saw my mum cooking and I immediately begged on my knees for her to purchase the MP4 player. Her response was a quick ‘no’. I wanted to beg again but I know my mother well.

The following day, after school, I talked this over with my friend, Madeline. She then encouraged me to shoplift but I know I could not. My conscience told me not to. I cannot beg my mum again, in addition, with my marks of 4 over 50 for my Mathematics test. But because of temptation and desperation, I had to. My eyes could not stand one look away from the MP4 player. I felt like a kleptomaniac. Soon, I was in the shop for my ‘clever’ plan with Madeline on watch outside the shop.

As sly as a fox, I went near one of the boxes containing the MP4 player inside. With two hands holding it, it was like I found a treasure box! I dumped it inside my school bag and rushed out of the shop.

I celebrated with Madeline but as we were about to leave the shop, the owner pulled me back and not Madeline. She turned back and run away. I felt hopeless.

The shop owner brought me to the nearest police station. The policeman questioned e for my details and called my parents up while my parents have not arrived I asked,

“Uncle, how did you know when you did not even have those camera or those sensor?”

“My assistant saw you without knowing it. I wouldn’t be fooled with my trustworthy assistant.”, he replied.

Soon my parents arrived, with a confused look, they asked the policeman and shop owner of the incident. They explained everything. I felt embarrassed. The kind policeman gave me a chance but I had to do CIP. My parents thanked the policeman and the shop owner and I soon returned the stolen MP4 player. I walked home, with my head hung in shame.
