Last month I went to Canada to stay with my aunt, but something funny happened the
day I left. My flight was at six in the evening so I didn’t get up early. After breakfast, I
walked into town. I bought some sun cream from the chemist and then I got some
Canadian dollars from the bank. Then I went home to pack my bag.
Nina, my cat, sat on my bed and watched as I put all my things in my bag. Then I went
downstairs and had lunch with my parents. I wanted to go to my friend’s house to say

goodbye, but there wasn’t time so I talked to her on the phone. Then it was time to
leave.
At the airport, the woman at check-in weighed my bag and asked me some questions.
She wanted to know if there were any sharp objects in it when suddenly the bag moved!
When I opened it, Nina jumped out. I thought it was funny, but the woman was angry!
