Traveller’s Rest by John Smith
One weekend last autumn my cousin Jack and I went on a hiking trip in the countryside. We had planned to stay at a village hotel on Saturday night and return home on Sunday. As we were walking late on Saturday afternoon, we realised we had lost our way. It was getting dark and we were very tired. Then it started to rain and we started to feel desperate. The next moment, we saw an old-fashioned stone cottage, inker so we decided to stop and ask directions. A little old lady came to the door. She was wearing a long dress and smiling sweetly. When she heard that we were lost, she invited us inside. Youtaskre welcome to stay the night," she said. taskYou speech- can reach the village easily in the morning.task We felt grateful for her hospitality and sat down to a hot tasty meal in her cosy kitchen.
