We ate cakes, some sandwiches and pizza. We spent a pleasant time together talking, joking and laughing. At nine o’clock my friend Aly left. I stayed with Hassan and Ahmad reading a book about fishing, it is Hassan’s hobby. We also played some indoor games. It was ten when my friends left promising that they would visit me again.
