　 He was a real big spender. He stayed at the best hotel and ate in the most expensive restaurants.

　 To the management of Disneyland Pairs, he was a very welcome guest, even though he was only 12 years old. In the end, the police discovered that the schoolboy was living the high life 　on the ￡10,000 stolen from his father’s safe.

　 The boy, named Lamine, had disappeared from the family hotel in Paris 10 days earlier. While police all over France searched for him, he was living it up at a 250-a-night Disneyland hotel. He went on all the rides and went on every other attraction in the place.

　 And when he’d had enough of Disneyland for a while, he paid ￡650 to hire a large and very comfortable car which is usually used by very rich or important people to take him to a park for a day. Then he was driven back to Disneyland, where he treated new-found friends to expensive rides and dinner. By the time the truth about him was discovered, Lamine had spent ￡7,000 of his father’s money.
