Amir was worried because he was going on holiday to Spain but he
could not find his passport. He looked in his desk since he usually kept
it there then he searched his bedroom. He looked in every cupboard
and he was checking in his suitcase when his father arrived. His
father checked the desk again although Amir had already looked

relieved as he would not have been able to fly to Spain without it.
