Read the following excerpt. What part of the plot does the highlighted text seem to be pulled from?
Dan Morgan had been excited about this field trip since his first week of school. His class would visit the Space Center in November. The day had finally arrived. It was a cool, crisp fall day. A perfect day for a class trip. While visiting the Space Center, Dan found the perfect gift for his mom at the gift shop. He reached for his wallet. It was gone! There was fifty dollars in that wallet! He started to panic. Dan decided to retrace his steps. He searched the food court. Nothing. He searched the boys’ restroom. Nothing! His heart raced. He’d worked a month as a paperboy to earn that much money. What would he do? Then he heard the announcement: “Dan Morgan, please come to the office.” Dan rushed in, and there was his wallet! He wondered how they knew it was his! Then he saw the label his mom had put on it. “Thank you Mom,” whispered Dan. He returned to the tour with his classmates. Dan was now calm. Later that afternoon, Dan left the Space Center with the gift for his mother under his arm. His wallet was tucked safely back in his jean’s pocket.
