POWERFUL MEMORY- A JOURNEY I REMEMBER

As my cousins were getting bored with their arguments, I decided to hand over my Gameboy to them. Then the argument began again. “It’s my turn on the Gameboy”. “No it’s mine”.

Join now!

As we were in the motorway to Manchester, I decided to ask, “Where are we now on the map?”

“I don’t know look for yourself”. This was the reply I received.  As I was anxious to know where we were I looked in the atlas.

I decided to read a book called ‘Indian in the cupboard’ because I was bored.  The noise inside the car grew louder and louder, as my cousins argued with each other. I said, “Can’t you all just be quiet? I’m trying to read.”
