Surprise!!

John jumped smoothly on to his rusty, worn out bicycle, desperate to be first in line for the new accordion that was placed on a stand in the window of old Peter Shannon’s bright yellow music shop. His bike screeched to a stop outside the shop and he stared at the accordion greedily. He had saved up all his money from communions, birthdays, and visits from his grandparents.  John burst into the shop to see Peter shaking his head. “Someone has already bought it, John” he said. Peter was gutted as he rode back to his house. He opened the back door to see his dad smiling at him.” I suppose I got there before you, John?” as he held out a receipt for Peter’s music shop. Without thinking he jumped on his bike and rode back down the shop. “Be careful!” his dad warned behind him, but John was too happy to hear him.
