Oliver's uncle
Oliver woke up early today. He knew that it was the weekend and Uncle Robert was coming over to see him and his family. Oliver liked Uncle Robert very much because he always gave Oliver lots of chocolate and sweets.
Oliver then got out of bed, put on his best clothes and went downstairs to the kitchen. “Oh my dear, you’ve already got up!” his mother said in a surprised voice. “Yes, because Uncle Robert is coming,” explained Oliver. His mother was getting ready to go to the train station to pick up Uncle Robert and Oliver wanted to come along too. So they went to the train station together.
At the train station, they waited for a long time but they did not see him. Oliver became very worried. His mother was also very confused. She picked up her phone and called Uncle Robert. She asked, “Where are you? Aren’t you at the train station?”
“No. I am in front of your house. I tried to knock on the door, but no one answered. I wanted to give Oliver a surprise so I came early.”
Oliver could hear Uncle Robert’s voice on the phone. He was happy that nothing bad had happened to him, but he couldn’t wait to get home to see him. He also wanted to come home quickly because he hadn’t eaten breakfast yet.
