Taking without paying: the consequences, sentence 3
Mistakes can be put right: when a 4-year-old walks out holding a toy he didn't understand he had to pay for, Mum takes it straight back and says sorry, and when Kai finds a £1 coin on the floor he hands it in.
Who acts: year old, shop, Mum, Kai · What happens: put, walk out, hold, not understand, have, pay · To what, where: Mistakes, toy, 1 coin, floor, coin · Speech: someone speaks here
