Panning a Holiday
It was dry season in July. There was not much rain. The sun shone very brightly. Fiona didn’t go to school because it was a long school holiday. She had stayed at home for two days. Of course, she helped her parents worked in their store, but she would rather go to a cooler place than stay at home during the dry season. She thought about a holiday in the mountains.
Suddenly, Mr. Suparta a postman, came with a letter. He smiled and said,” why do you look so unhappy, Fiona?” “This dry seasons terrible”. Everyday I feel very hot and I sweat a lot. I want to have some cool days.” Fiona said in an unhappy voice.
“Why don’t you go to the mountain or swim in the lake?”
“Actually, uncle Joko lives in Bromo mountain. I could stay there for a week or two. But I haven’t told him yet that I want to visit him.”
“Well, here is a letter for you from your uncle,” Mr. Suparta gave a letter to Fiona. Fiona took the letter and read it. “Good news!” Uncle Joko wants me to go to his house and visit his plantation for two weeks. Thank you Mr. Suparta.”
“You are welcome and I hope you have a nice holiday. Next time you have to plan what you are going to do during the holiday,” Mr. Suparta smiled again and started his motorcycle.
