question
What was in the wrong container?
pened my
About ten years ago my mum got a job teaching
at a university in indonesia. We all went to live
with her We had a great time, but last year my
parents decided that they wanted to return to
the UK We had loads of things we wanted to
take back with us all the furniture from our
house in face
So mum and dad went to a shipping company
and arranged to take everything back in one of
those big containers that you see on ships. The
company pucked everything into it: the armchair
and sofas, the TV, wardrobes, desks, even all the
carpets and curtains.
We flew back to the UK and waited for the
container to arrive. About ten weeks later a big
lorry arrived outside our house. On the back was
a big freen metal box We were so excited. The
men opened the container and started to take
out our things. But they weren't our things. The
container was full of motorbikes It was the wrong
one My parents were so annoyed But the story
has a happy ending The men took the container
and motorbikes away, and about two months ago
our things finally arrived.​
