At the customs house
A Frenchwoman decided to go to Great Britain for a holiday. She booked a seat
for a plane as she wanted to get there as soon as possible. At the booking – office she
found out that it would take her only two hours to get to London. She was very happy.
She hurried home and began packing her things as she was afraid to leave something
important behind. After she had packed everything, she found, that she had two big
suit-cases. She ordered a taxi in advance to come to the airport on time.
On the day of her flight, she checked her things again, when she suddenly
remembered about her nice little dog. She could not leave the dog at home as there
was no one who would look after it. So, she decided to take the dog to GB.
The flight was very pleasant. The Frenchwoman thought that nobody noticed
her dog. But just before the plane landed one of the passengers who was sitting near
the woman told her that the English did not let foreigners bring dogs to their country.
The woman did not know what to do. When the plane landed, she put the dog under
her coat and went to the Customs House. The dog was so little that she hoped the
Customs officer wouldn’t notice it. At the Custom’s House she filled in all the
necessary forms and came up to the Customs officer, who looked at her big suit-cases
and asked if she had anything to declare.
“Oh, no,” she answered, “all the things are for my own use.”
“But do you know that you can’t bring dogs to this country?” asked the officer.
“But I have no dog,” answered the lady.
‘Then I understand the tail which is hanging down below your coat is your
own,” said the Customs Officer. (300 words)
