Ken looked in his backpack to find his camera, but it wasn’t there. He began to panic. He searched his backpack frantically. He had had it earlier that morning when he took some photos. Maybe he had lost it at the café in the centre. He ran to the café, but there was no sign of his camera. Next he ran to the square where he had eaten an ice cream earlier. He ran towards the street vendors. The ice cream seller held up his camera. Ken was completely relieved to have his camera back.
