When Sam opened the door he expected to find his friend John waiting outside. But instead of him there was a very angry looking swim master.
"Young lady!" he shouted. "You have occupied this locker for nearly one hour now. That is not very polite to our other guests. So tell me what is your name and where are your parents?"
"My name is Sam ... Samantha", Sam answered. "My mother just left to fetch something from our car and asked me to keep this locker until she returns. I was just looking for her."
"OK! But I have to see you and your mother in my office. So come with her as soon as possible!" With this words the swim master went.
Sam was shocked. He just invented the story of his mother to calm down that man. Now he had to find someone who might be willing to act as his (or better:her) mother.
While Sam was still thinking what to do John returned. He had changed in another locker and was ready for the beach.
"Who are you?" he asked the small girl. "I thought my friend Sam was waiting here."
"But I am Sam"
John took a closer look at the girl and recognized the bikini he bought.
"OK Sam! Why are you wrearing this bikini which I bought for my sister?"
"I can explain later. Now we have a more severe problem."
Sam told John about the swim master and the excuse he invented.
"What shall we do now?"
