This story happened when I was ten years old. It was a hot summer day. My parents left for work and I was alone at home. Then my friends came and suggested going to the lake. I locked the door of our flat and put the key into my shorts pocket. The next three hours were great fun! We were swimming and sunbathing and playing lots of games. Then it was time to go home. I found my T-shirt and shorts , but when I checked my pocket it was empty! The key was missing. My friends and I  searched everywhere but we never found my key.

Эта история произошла, когда мне было десять лет. Был жаркий летний день. Мои родители ушли на работу, а я остался один дома. Потом пришли мои друзья и предложили пойти на озеро. Я запер дверь нашей квартиры и положил ключ в карман шорт. Следующие три часа были очень веселыми! Мы плавали, загорали и играли во множество игр. Потом пришло время идти домой. Я нашел свою футболку и шорты, но когда я проверил свой карман, он был пуст! Ключа там не было. Мы с друзьями искали везде, но так и не нашли ключ.
