The Museum Guide

I followed a museum guide to learn about old history. He spoke very fast and used many difficult English words. I just nodded my head and smiled at everything he said. I realized at the end he was speaking another language. We both laughed when I told him my big mistake. اتبعت مرشداً سياحياً في […]

The Heavy Suitcase

I packed too many clothes for my short weekend trip. My suitcase was so heavy that I couldn’t lift it. I had to ask a strong man for some help. He lifted it easily and smiled at my red face. I think I will travel lighter next time I go. وضعت الكثير من الملابس لرحلتي […]
