The Trombone
Jerry stepped off the bus at the music school, and he mentally reviewed the correct trombone slide positions as he walked to Room 10 at the end of the hall. He sat down at his chair in front of the music stand and smiled eagerly at Nadine, his teacher, who gave him a strange look.
“Where’s your trombone?” she asked.
“Oh, no!” He’d left it on the bus! “What’ll I do?” he asked, after explaining the situation to Nadine.
“You’ll have to get it back, or your parents are out nine hundred dollars.”
“Oh, no.” He clapped his hands to his face in despair.
She sent him home without a lesson. The bus ride back was pure agony. It reminded him of the previous bus, where the catastrophe had occurred. Fortunately, this driver, to whom Jerry confided his plight, advised him to call the bus company’s lost and found. But it was six o’clock; the bus company’s phone recording said that the lost and found closed at five.
The next day, Jerry’s father drove him to the bus company office, and—the trombone wasn’t there. No one had turned it in.
“I’m an idiot,” Jerry moaned, as his father drove him to the music school to meet his doom. “I never do anything right.”
“You’re not an idiot, you’re a normal kid, and you do a million things right. Now you’ll never do this kind of thing again. If the trombone doesn’t show up, we’ll work out a way for you to pay for it over time.”
Walking the corridor to Room 10 beside his father, Jerry felt like a pirate walking the plank. With a feeling of dread he opened the door. Inside stood Nadine, working the slide on a trombone but not putting the mouthpiece to her lips. Wait—the trombone had a familiar dent on the bell and a familiar little scratch on the mouthpiece. It was his!
“Someone turned it in at the desk,” Nadine smiled. “A passenger from your bus. Thank goodness for honest people, huh?”
Jerry sank into his seat with an immense sigh of relief, and vowed to himself that he would never do anything wrong again in his life.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry had just alighted the bus and lost his trombone. On realizing that he had lost his trombone Jerry started looking around. If he did not get his trombone back, Jerry’s parents were to pay nine hundred dollars for the trombone. The bus drive back home for Jerry was pure agony. It reminded him of what had happened previously in the bus where she had lost the trombone.

The trombone Jerry was about to go to trombone lessons.

Upon arrival, he realized that he had forgotten his trombone on the bus. He called the bus company's lost and found and went the next day with his father, hoping that someone found his trombone. But nobody had turned in a trombone. When he went to music school the next day, he saw his teacher Nadine holding his trombone. She explained to him that another passenger found the trombone and turned it in at the music school. Jerry was relieved and vowed he would never do anything wrong again.

Jerry stepped off the bus at the music school and went into it to see his teacher Miss Nadine, they started talking and Jerry realized that he had lost his Trombone. The teacher suggested him to go back to his house and try to find it in his way. Jerry gets into the bus and feels really sad because it reminds it to the previous bus where he had lost his Trombone, he told the bus driver what had happened and the driver advised him to go to the Bus Company to see if they have the trombone in the lost and found section.

Jerry’s father took him to the Bus company but there was no luck, the trombone was not there.

They go back to the music school where the teacher tells him that a passenger from the bus had returned the trombone.
