A Coincidence
It was Friday evening. Daniel had just arrived at Heathrow Airport in London. He took his luggage, got a taxi and went to his hall of residence. When he arrived at his flat, he opened his suitcase. He was surprised because it was full of women’s clothes! He realised that he had taken the wrong suitcase. He called the Lost and Found Department at the airport, but the officer said that nobody had reported taking the wrong suitcase. Daniel was really upset. He went to the kitchen and made dinner. Then the door opened and a girl entered the flat. She was holding his suitcase! Daniel went to his bedroom and returned holding her suitcase. He showed it to the girl, and they started laughing.
Перевод: Даниэль приехал в аэропорт и отправился в общежитие. Дома он обнаружил в чемодане женскую одежду и понял, что взял чужой багаж. В бюро находок никто ещё не обращался. Позже в квартиру вошла девушка с его чемоданом. Даниэль принёс её чемодан, и оба засмеялись.
