Simon (walk) home from work the other day when he (notice) something shining on the pavement on the other side of the road. A car (come) down the street, so he waited until it had driven past, then he (cross) over. When he (get) to the other side he saw that it was a shiny gold coin. He (look) around to make sure nobody (look), then he (bend) down to pick i tup. Imagine his surprise when he (not/can) move it! He (be) just about to give up when he (hear) a strange sound behind him. Someone (laugh) at him, but he couldn’t see who it (be). Two little boys (hide) behind a hedge, laughing at anyone who tried to pick up the coin they had stuck to the pavement with glue!
