The Funniest Shopping Day of my Life

Hi Michela,

How are you? I hope that you did well in your exams. I am still waiting for the results. Last week , on Saturday, I spent a day shopping at Sliema. It was a relief after all those exams, hard work and studying. I stayed in Sliema from nine in the morning till seven in the evening.

I went from one shop to another buying whatever I liked, not even looking at the price tag. I did not only buy clothes but even jewellery and lovely things for home. I went in a very big and particular shop which I liked best.

At first, I was having fun picking what I liked and putting it in the basket. But when I went to pay all this  happened.  When the cashier told me the price I had the fright of my life. I did not have enough money to pay for all the items. I felt ashamed in front all those people looking at me with an angry smile. I had to give up most of the items. This was something dreadful to me. When I paid for the other items and finally went in another shop I realized that I had forgotten the bag behind me. I was scared going back after that whole story but finally I decided to pluck some courage and go to the shop and look for it. When I went to the shop I looked around and also asked the shopkeeper. I had another big fright because I thought the bag was not there.

Finally I realized that my friend Mariam had been pulling a leg. She had taken the bag herself. She was only playing a joke on me. I was so relieved that I laughed till I cried.

This is all for today. Write back soon and tell me about your funny shopping experience.

Love

Krista
