VISITING TO MALLORCA
Last Monday Mr Donald’s ship arrived in Mallorca. He decided to visit the town of
Palma. But,
He didn´t want to go sight- seeing (turismo) with the other passengers. They always
visited churches and museums. He didn´t like looking at old churches. So he stopped
at a bar and then went to a restaurant. There he ate a large paella and drank several
glasses of wine. When he looked at his watch, he saw that it was already 3.55 p.m.
. He didn´t have much time. He only had five minutes! He ran back to the port and
got there at 4.02 p.m. His ship was already three meters from the quay (muelle,
embarcadero). He tried to jump aboard, but he didn´t reach (alcanzar)the ship. He
fell into the water below. Why did you do that? A man on the quay said, “That wasn´t
your ship. Your ship´s over there!”
That evening the other passengers asked him, “Why didn´t you come with us to the
cathedral this afternoon? Where did you go? Mr. Donald replied. “Oh, I just went for
a swim.”
