The First Road Trip

         26, Mannheim Road 

Mannheim, England

Dear Thomas, 

                    Last weekend, I went to my Grandma's house with my mother and brother. We set off early morning. We took my father's invention, which was a car to my grandmother's house. It was a wooden structure more similar to a horse carriage.

                       The journey was from Mannheim to Pforzheim. It was 65 miles long passing through hills of Black Forest. The journey was long and troublesome. It was the first road trip for invention. During the journey, the part that I liked best was when we were short of gasoline. We needed gasoline to run the engine. Gasoline was used for removing stains but we used it to run the invention. We solved the problem by going to the pharmacy and bought a half-gallon of gasoline. The pharmacist was surprised when we bought half-gallon of gasoline which was all of his remaining stock. Gasoline was sold in small bottles because it was very expensive. The pharmacist created a history by becoming the first gas station in the world.

                    We felt relieved to know that the car could finally move on. We finally arrived at my grandmother's place safe and sound in the evening.

Yours sincerely,

Richard
