A holiday surprise
Saleem and his sister Mariam lived with their mother and father in a big city. Saleem was eleven and Mariam was nine. One morning, the children were very excited. They were ready to go on a weekend trip.
Everyone got into the car. They travelled out of the city. Saleem saw trees, farms and valleys. Then they travelled down a long road. Saleem saw rocks and mountains. Finally, the car stooped. “
We’re here,” said Dad. There weren’t any buildings, trees or houses. They were in the desert!
“Look!” said Mariam. “I can see some tents.” “We’re sleeping in a tent in the desert!” said Saleem. “I am very excited.”
That’s night, Saleem looked at the sky. The stars were beautiful and bright. It was quiet in the desert. “What a great holiday!” he said.
