About ten years ago my mum got a job teaching
at a university in Indonesia. We all went to live
with her. We had a great time, but last year my
parents decided that they wanted to return to
the UK. We had loads of things we wanted to
take back with us - all the furniture from our
house in fact.

and arranged to take everything back in one of

We flew back to the UK and waited for the
container to arrive. About ten weeks later, a big
lorry arrived outside our house. On the back was
a big green metal box. We were so excited. The
men opened the container and started to take
out our things. But they weren't our things. The
container was full of motorbikes. It was the wrong

and motorbikes away, and about two months ago
our things finally arrived.
