David's holiday on the island

David lives with his parents in a big city, but his grandparents and cousin, William, live far away on an island. Last summer, David flew to see them for the first time.

David was hot and tired when he got off the plane. The island was very different from David's city. He didn’t like it. 'Oh no!' he thought. ‘I've got to stay here for a month!’ His grandparents’ house was very old and small. When David went to his bedroom, he found a green lizard on his bed! At night, it was too hot to sleep and the frogs outside were very noisy.'

The next morning, the grandparents took the boys to a beautiful beach. David and William swam and played in the sea for a long time. Then David was thirsty, so William climbed a tree and got a coconut for him.

David drank the coconut milk. 'This is lovely! I’m beginning to like this island!' he thought.

A month later, it was time for David to go home. Before he went, he phoned his parents. 'Dad, can I come here again next year, please?' he asked. 'Of course, and I'll come too,' answered his father. David was sad when he said goodbye to everyone, but William said, I'll send you lots of emails - one every week!'
