I started on saturday morning.At 10 am, I got my first question. I saw a poster in the window of a travel agent’s. it said,”Tired” (Yes- I slept badly the night before , so I was tired).

Five minutes later everything was ready. My flight was the next day.

I had some in my bag, but I said, “Yes.”
Five minutes later, another man came: “beautiful hat, sir?” I tried not to look at him.
Three hours later, I had two pairs of sunglasses, three hats, a watch and a woman’s necklace.

I didn’t, but I said, “Yes.”
“oh, there’s water skiing course tomorrow. Do you want me to book a place for you?”
I can’t swim very well and I don’t like the sea. I wanted to cry …
