The Lucky Find by the Golf Course (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:43s
Tom was glad when he found a shiny piece of gold near the golf course. His goal was to buy a good gift for his mom, and this gold could help. With a quick grab, he picked up the treasure and noticed the gray clouds gathering above. He had to grow his savings, and this gold was a perfect start. On his way home, Tom felt a raindrop on his hair and decided to take shelter. He shared his space with a dog who was wet and shivering. Tom wrapped the dog in his jacket, making sure it covered at least half of the cold, little body. The dog looked up at him with grateful eyes, and Tom knew he had made a new friend.
