He had a CD player with headphones and he ran into Mr Jackson. “Oh I’m sorry,” said the young man. “You know, it’s so dark here under the trees.” “It’s OK,” said Mr Jackson. Terry and Mr Jackson started jogging again. After a minute, Mr Jackson said, “Terry, stop. My wallet isn’t in my right back pocket. I think that young man has got it.” They ran after him. “Hey, you, give me my wallet,” Mr Jackson shouted at the young man. “What?” shouted the young man, taking off his headphones. “What wallet?” “It’s in your pocket!” shouted Mr Jackson. The young man was scared. “OK,” he said. “No problem.” He took the wallet from his pocket and threw it to Mr Jackson. Then he ran away. “That was cool, Dad,” said Terry. “It wasn’t cool,” said Mr Jackson. “I was really scared. Let’s go home right now.” A It was six o’clock on Tuesday evening, and Mr and Mrs Jackson were in the living room. Terry came in. “Hey, Dad, we aren’t going to have dinner until quarter to seven. Let’s go jogging,” said Terry. “Oh, Terry, I’m so tired,” said Mr Jackson. “I had a very busy day at work. And now it’s dark. I don’t like jogging when it’s dark. It can be dangerous.” “Oh Dad, don’t be silly,” said Terry. “It isn’t dangerous. There are two of us. Don’t forget, the doctor said you need to exercise more.” “Yes, Terry is right,” said Mrs Jackson. “He said you need to do something like jogging or swimming. It’s cold now, so I think jogging is a better idea than swimming.” “OK, OK, you two,” said Mr Jackson. “Let’s go jogging. But tell me first what we’re having for dinner. I’m getting hungry.” “It’s fish and a salad for you,” said Mrs Jackson. “Should I buy some chips?” asked Mr Jackson. “No, you shouldn’t,” said Mrs Jackson. “We don’t need any tonight.” B The paths in the park were dark because there were a lot of big, old trees next to them. “Terry, it’s so cold and dark, and I don’t see any other people jogging,” said Mr Jackson. “Let’s go and look in the department store next to the park. It’s nice and warm.” “Dad!” said Terry. “Come on, let’s run!” 35 40 45 50 That wallet in your pocket! 5 Check-in Language Story Wordwise Check-out Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
