A Hot Summer Evening 

The hotel lounge is a very nice place. There are plenty o f big comfortable arm-chairs there, and many tables with magazines and newspapers on them. And usually , there is also air-conditioning. In the afternoon or in the evening, when people are tired, and want to rest , many of them sit in the lounge and watch television, or they have a lit tle nap. If they are thirsty and want to drink something , they c a n call the waiter to bring them beer, orange juice or Coca-Cola. If they are hungry, the waiter can bring them something to eat: a sandwich, some cakes, some biscuits, some fruit .. . and they can drink coffee or tea. If they are bored bored,, they can play cards or write letters to their friends, to their relatives or to their families. *** This afternoon Tom would like to stay in the lounge to watch an interesting football match: Real Madrid – Milan. He knows that Margaret detests football, so he says that he is tired and wants to rest. He says to her that in summer, after lunch, Spanish people usually have a siesta in the afternoon, so he would like to have a siesta, too.

But Margaret knows Tom very well, and she understands easily that he wants to watch TV. So she sits down and looks at the television programme. Tom smiles and says to her, “All right, dear, I admit it, it , I would like to watch the football match. But after the match we can go for a nice walk or we can go to the public garden.”

It is nine o’clock in the morning, the weather is fine, they are walking along an elegant street in Barcelona, looking at the shop-windows . She sees some flamenco dolls in a shop-window and says to Tom, “Look at those beautiful dolls! They are nice souvenirs of Spain. And they are cheap , too. I would like to buy some. I can buy many of them. I can give flamenco dolls to all my friends in England and I can say to them, ‘This is a souvenir of my visit to Spain.’ ”

Then she sees a pair of beautiful white shoes and says, “I want to buy those shoes, too.” “But you have two dozen pairs of shoes already!” says Tom. “Yes, I know,” know ,” she answers “but I’m already tired of them!” She is now looking at a shop that sells postcards with coloured views of Spain: views of churches, cathedrals, statues, monuments, beautiful parks, interesting old streets …

“Tomorrow We Go to a Museum.” 

She buys paper, envelopes and a ballpoint pen. Then they go to the post office and buy stamps. In the post office there is a big table. Five or six tourists are sitting at this table. They are all writing postcards to their friends. Margaret sits at the table too. “Why are you sitting there, Margaret?” asks Tom. “It’s already time for lunch and I am very hungry.” “Because I want to send these cards,” answers Margaret, and she puts about twenty cards on the table. Then she begins to write on the cards with her nice new pen. She writes names, addresses and sweet words on all the cards. She writes cards to her father, her mother, her sister Linda, her brother William. She writes cards to two or three cousins and to many of her friends. Margaret always writes slowly and she writes slowly now. Then she puts stamps on a l l the cards. Tom stands looking at her. He is tired, very tired. And hungry, so hungry! “Come on, dear!” he says. “It i s time for lunch.” “I’m very sorry, dear,” she says, “but first I want to write two or three letters.” “Oh no!” says poor Tom. “Not let ters too!” Margaret doesn’t answer . She just continues writing. “Tomorrow we go to a museum,” says Tom. “There are moments when I can’t understand you, dear,” says Margaret. “You are always saying that museums are boring.” “And I say it again, for me museums are very boring … but I prefer museums to post offices.”
