Deniz and his cousin Ela were in Izmir for the weekend. On Sunday they wanted to take the ferry from Konak to Karşıyaka. They had two tickets, but when they arrived at the pier, Deniz could not find his ticket. "I put it in my jacket pocket," he said. He looked in his bag, his pockets and his shoes. Nothing! Ela laughed. "Don't worry. We can buy another one." But the ticket office was closed. A kind man at the pier listened to their problem. He smiled and said, "Look at your phone case." Deniz opened it, and there was the ticket, behind his phone! The ferry arrived a minute later, and the two cousins ran on board happily.
