A STRANGE EXPERIENCE
Last month I was on holiday in Ireland with my mum and dad. One day, we were driving through a small
village. It was time for lunch, so we stopped at a restaurant .
It was a large , old builiding. We looked through the window. There were lots of people in the restaurant. They
were eating , drinking and chatting . A musician was playing the violin. But there was something strange about
the people . They weren't wearing normal , modern clothes. They were wearing hats, jackets and dresses from
another century . We couldn't understand it. But we were hungry , so we opened the door .
When we went into the restaurant, everything was different. The people were wearing normal clothes. The
musician wasn't there- the music was on CD. It was a very strange experience !
