Note #3
Three comrades
Once Vitya lost his breakfast. When the recreation began, all the other kids started to eat their breakfast as Vitya just stood aside.
"Why aren't you eating?" Kolya asked.
"I lost my breakfast..."
"That's a pity", Kolya said while biting off a big chunk of a white bread. "It takes a long time before lunch!"
"Where have you lost it?" Misha asked.
"I don't know..." Vitya answered and turned away.
"I guess it laid in your pocket, you should have put it in your bag", Misha said.
Only Volodya said nothing. He came to Vitya, broke his sandwich into two parts and handed one part over his comrade.
"Here, take it!"

Note #3
Three comrades
Once Vitya lost his breakfast. When the recreation began, all the other kids started to eat their breakfast as Vitya just stood aside.
"Why aren't you eating?" Kolya asked.
"I lost my breakfast..."
"That's a pity," Kolya said while biting off a big chunk of a white bread. "It takes a long time before until lunch!" [I think this is a difference between British and American, but we put the comma inside the quotation.]
"Where have you lost it?" Misha asked.[Or: "Where did you lose it?" both are correct, but my suggestion is more common in the US.]
"I don't know..." Vitya answered and turned away.
"I guess it laid in fell out of your pocket, you should have put it in your bag", Misha said.
Only Volodya said nothing. He came to Vitya, broke his sandwich into two parts and handed one part over his comrade.
"Here, take it!"

Пожалуйста, а то вам как-то не очень активно помогают, иной раз надо поднимать пост. Если вы учите английский переводя несложные тексты с русского, то вы все делаете правильно и в общем у вас неплохо получается.

Алена, что-то англичане ленятся, поднимем пост, мб, заметят. Вот несколько основных ошибок, чтобы вам была польза от вашей работы в любом случае:
recreation => break (перемена)
a white bread => a loaf of white bread (хлеб неисчисляемое, без артикля)
"Where have you lost it?" => Where did you lose it? (дело прошлого)
I guess it laid in your pocket => it was in my pocket (или lay лежал, если очень хочется, но не как у вас, это же другое слово)
handed one part over his comrade => … over to his comrade (а лучше так: gave one half to his comrade)
