He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ Ill just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”“ Thats fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl cant swim a bit yet.

My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three oclock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty.
