READING COMPREHENSION

*Simple Past Tense*

 PLEASE SEND ME A CARD
Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to
Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly
waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then, he lent me a
book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every
day I thought about postcards. My holiday passed quickly, but I
did not send any cards to my friends. On the last day, I made a
big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I
spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single
card!!
