Eugene Kraev from Russia When I was in Australia, I met someone who was from Russia like me. His name was Oleg. He had lived there for a year, so he knew more about that city than I did. One time, Oleg invited me to play pool with him and I said, "Why not?" We played a good game and had an excellent time together. Then when we had to pay for the last game, I saw that I had run out of money. I should have known that I was running out of money, but I didn't. When I told Alex that I didn't have enough money, he said he didn't either. We didn't have enough money to pay and didn't know what to do. It was a crazy thing to do, but we decided not to pay. We went to the restroom and jumped out a window. I shouldn't have done that because the window was very high. Nothing happened to Oleg, but unfortunately I sprained my leg when I jumped. I also regretted deciding not to pay. I should have explained our situation to the people there. Then maybe I could have paid for the game later. It would have been cheaper than paying a hospital bill! More
