trip with some friends in the brothers' dad's car. Tom was bored and wanted s to
have an adventure. He wanted Harry to drive their mum's car to the city. Harry
wasn't happy about it, but he was bored too, so, in the end, he agreed The boys
arrived in the city centre, and decided to go to the canema first. Harry parked the
car carefully outside the cinema. They watched a great film. Then they were
hungry Harry was happier now, so he stopped at a café, and they ordered a big
pizza. After that, Harry wanted to go home, but Tom wanted to go to a nightclub.
Harry wasn't sure, but again he agreed in the end. He parked the car biggest
nightclub in town. carefully outside the biggest nightclub in town.

Tom and Harry stayed in the nightclub for a long time. It was very late when they
walked back to the car. Then they noticed something terrible There was a big dent
in the back of the carl They hurried home, and waited until six a.m. Then they
phoned a garage and explained the situation. A mechanic repaired the car, and the
boys parked it outside the house just in time! A few minutes later their parents
returned home The boys were too scared to say anything about the accident. But
later that day, their mother checked the car . 'Hey! Look at the carl' she shouted.
The boys waited nervously Their mother continued, 'I can't believe it! A van
bumped into my car last Thursday, but now you can't even see the dent!'
