The Missing Coins Summary

Summary

The Missing Coins

is a mystery story. Pete and Carla are

students, visiting the city of Bath in England. While they

are walking around looking at the shops and buildings

they hear music in a quiet street. A man is playing a flute.

He is standing next to the window of a shop which sells

coins and stamps. They go into the shop and have a look.

Pete wants some stamps, but they are expensive and the

girl shop assistant is unfriendly. Pete and Carla then go to

a café for a drink.

To their surprise, the shopkeeper comes to find them

there. He says that some of his coins are missing. He

thinks Pete and Carla have stolen them. He looks in

Carla’s bag and their pockets in front of a policeman, but

it turns out that they have not taken them.

Later, Carla hears the music again. She realises how the

coins were stolen: The girl in the shop has made a plan

with the flute player. She drops the coins into the flute

player’s hat through the open window. Carla explains this

to the policeman. The policeman finds the missing coins

in the flute player’s hat.

The shopkeeper is so pleased with Carla and Pete that he,

in return, gives Pete the stamps that he wants.
