Empty pencil case:

One day while we, we being about four or five of us playing under G block, like kids do.
Noticed somebody jump off the veranda onto the grass (G block) and stuffed something under the block next to a brick pillar, we had seen this, so we crawled over to see what it was and it was a brand new pencil case containing, textures colours, pencils, rubbers ,rule, protractors etc etc. So having checked it out we decided to empty the case and share the spoils, which we did and then we put the now empty pencil case back to where we had found it.
A few days later we found out whose pencil case it was and what had happened.
The pencil case turned out to be a birthday present to a daughter of a Scottish family.
What had happened is that the brother of girl who's birthday it was had been arguing with his sister. So had decided to take her present and hide it for a short while, not knowing, were he was about to hide it was a groups of kids playing.
I can only imagine what it must have been like when he eventually gave his sister the present back, only to find it had been empted and not being able to explain this. I bet the poor lad was in deep trouble for ages.

I bet to this day his sister still believes that her rotten brother had thrown away all the contents of her pencil case, even though he probably protests this.

So, if you were that Scottish girl?
Then, it was not your rotten brother but us whom empted the pencil case.

Sorry.
