Jennifer and Amanda were the best of friends. They played together. They were intelligent but innocent. They thought everyone in the world was nice. They did not realise that some people are cunning. One day, they were playing in the garden when a young woman approached them. “Little ones, will you lend me some money? I will show you a magic trick,” she said. The girls loved magic tricks, so they gave the woman whatever little money they had. They were excited that they would see magic tricks. The woman then asked the children to close their eyes and count up to 10. “One, two, three…ten,” the girls counted. When they opened their eyes, the woman could not be found anywhere. “That woman has tricked us,” Jennifer said. “Yes.” Amanda replied sadly. The girls felt extremely foolish, so they decided to be more careful with strangers, next time.
