Duped of money!

My grandma had gifted me a pretty little aquarium when I was little. Since then, most of my time would go in feeding the fishes and  observing them swimming and circling around the water. At one point however, my mum was fed up of cleaning and watching the fishes die. She suggested that we sell it off, however,  I was not willing to. She convinced me by telling me that she’d give me the money that the aquarium would fetch, as pocket money. I happily agreed as I felt that I could buy something with that money.

So, a person who needed it, came forward to buy it. He paid for it, mum returned some change and handed over the aquarium to him. Mum then handed over the money to me, and I was overjoyed. I very excitedly showed the note to my dad once he got back from work. Dad was shocked and was furious, as it happened to be a fake note.

Me and mum were duped, plus lost the aquarium and the extra money that we gave to the person. I was sad and upset for several days after that, as my pet fishes were gone and so had the pocket money!
