My parents have always loved everything about India, so a year ago we went on holiday there. It’s a wonderful    15  with beautiful scenes and interesting people . However, I didn’t enjoy Indian  16  very much.

On the second day we planned to see an old palace. At the  17  they said. “If you go by train, it’ll take you only two hours to get there.” However, the hot   18  took over four hours. I was very  19  when we got there , so we had some rice and vegetables with bread in a small restaurant. We were  20  to find it was quite nice. I wasn’t full up though and I saw a man nearby eating some little meatballs.

I said to my dad, “I’ve been eating rice all week. Can I have some meatballs please?”

Well, they looked delicious so I ate the first one very  21  . I was just putting the second one in my mouth when I felt myself  22 —my mouth was on fire! I started to cough（咳嗽）and there were tears (泪水)in my eyes. I couldn’t  23  how spicy (辛辣的) it was!

I drank about ten glasses of water but the worst thing was everyone was laughing at me. You couldn’t make me eat another Indian meatball for all the   24   in the world!

It was a beautiful spring morning. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and the sun was warm but not too hot. Mr. White saw an old man at the bus stop with a big and black umbrella in his hand.

Mr. White said to him, “Do you think it’s going to rain today?”

“No,” said the old man, “I don’t think so.”

“Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?”

“No, the sun is not very hot in spring.”

Mr. White looked at the big umbrella again, and the man said, “I am old man, and my legs are not very strong. I must have a walking-stick. But people will say, ‘Look, the man is so old, and I don’t like that.’ When I carry an umbrella in fine weather, people only say, ‘look at that stupid man.’”
