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
