The Train Ticket to the Mountains

A1

Ravi loves mountains. He sees some photographs of mountains online. The mountains are three hours away by train. Ravi works for his uncle on Saturdays. He saves some of his money every week until he has fifty pounds. He saves enough money to buy a train ticket. He goes alone to visit the mountains. From the train window, he sees green hills. At the station, he walks to a viewpoint. The mountains are big, quiet and very beautiful. He sits on a rock and eats his lunch. It is a sandwich and a drink. He takes no photos. He just looks. He goes home happy.
