Extract 3 

          This story shows that there are some terribly mean people around

          in the world today.

               My son went on holiday to Holland. It was a struggle to find

          the cash to send him, but in the end off he went with a bit of pocket

5        money.

               On his first day there, he bought his younger brother and sister a

          present each - a dog that yaps and picks up parper and a clown which

          does tricks.

               On the day of his departure, he was told to leave the presents

10      in the hotel lobby with his luggage, so he tied the yous to his case.

               When it came time to go home, the toys had disappeared. Can

          anybody imagine the disappointment on my son's face when he

          couldn't give his brother and sister their presents ?

The word presents (line 9) refers to        .
