MODEL COMPOSITION
A GOOD DEED
Tim's stomach was churning again. Clutching his abdomen tightly, Tim
weaved his way through the crowded shopping mall frantically to locate the
nearest toilet. The shopping mall was like packed snow with shoppers milling
around. The whole shopping mall was like a jamboree for children and adults.
Jovial chatters filled the air, while some families had babies bawling at the
top of their voices. The synergy of the boisterous crowd and the merriment
all around was making Tim feel horrible. He felt like he was stuck in a maze.
With each passing second. Tim's stomach churned more violently increasing his
urgency for the loo.
Tim broke into a run the minute he saw the toilet sign. Running as fast as his
legs could carry him, Tim dashed into the first vacant cubicle. Almost literally
ripping his pants off him, Tim finally found relief. When he got his act together,
he rushed out of the miniscule space all ready to hit the arcade. As he was
washing his hands, suddenly "ring... ring... ring..." a familiar sound reverberated
through the empty toilet. Tim craned his neck high and low to locate the source
of the sound. Then he found it! A brand new mobile phone, vibrating and ringing
away in one of the cubicles. It was the latest model. It was the phone that Tim
was saving up for.
Staring at his fortunate find, Tim contemplated seriously. Knitting his brows
together earnestly, Tim weighed out his conscience and his desire to nick
the phone for himself. Just then, the little gadget came alive with its lively
ringtones again.
After some major dithering, Tim decided to do the right thing. "Hello, hello may
I know who is on the line?" a fretful voice spoke. Tim explained politely that he
had found the phone and was now in the toilet. The other party heaved a sigh of
relief and thanked Tim copiously for responding. Tin offered to meet the mobile
phone's owner at the information counter of the shopping mall.
A dashing gentleman appeared and walked towards Tim in steady strides to
claim his phone. Tim handed over the phone with only a slight tinge of
disinclination in him. The gentleman was so relieved to have his mobile phone
back that he gave Tim a reward of $100, thanking Tim for being a boy of
integrity. Tim beamed a proud grin and his stomach seemed to have
miraculously recovered too. Now he was really all ready to hit the arcade for his
favourite games.
