The Power Cut

The Power Cut

The family was going on holiday. They were taking Biff and Chip. Mum and Dad were busy packing the car. "Will you pack these for us, please?” asked Wilma.

There will be lots to do," said Dad. "You won't need those." "We will," said Wilf, "We must take the games station. I've got a great new game. "We want to watch these films," said Wilma. "We haven't seen some of them yet." "And can we take the CD player?” asked Biff.

It was a long journey. It took hours. They stopped for a break. "Let's get a drink” said Mum. "Can we play a game in the arcade first?” asked Wilf. At last they arrived at the cottage. "We're in the middle of a forest," said Wilf. "We're in the middle of nowhere," said Wilma.

They went inside the cottage. Mum and Dad began to unpack the car. There was a big television in the front room. "Great!" said Chip. "Let's watch TV," "We could play some games," said Wilf. "Could you bring in our games station, Dad?” “Not now," said Dad. "Come and help us unpack the car."

At breakfast Wilma put on a film. Dad sighed. "Get dressed everyone. We didn't come on holiday to watch 'T'V." "Can we watch this first?” asked Wilma. "Later," said Dad. "Let's go out." "Wasn't it fun on the beach today?” said Mum. But nobody said anything. Wilf and Biff were busy playing a game. Chip and Wilma were listening to a CD.
