1 The boy was weak after his illness but he tried to help his mum to do something about the house.

It ( happend) two years ago, I (1)(was getting) ready to go to Paris to have the time of my life, when one day before my train journey I(2) (was knocked) down by a bus and(3) (broke) my arm. I thought nothing worse could happen to me, so I(4) (decided) to go anyway. My father agreed to give me a ride to the station which was five kilometres from our house. We(5) (were planning) to set off very early to catch the 7 a.m. train. But my father couldn’t start the car because he(6) (had left) the headlights on the whole night and the battery(7) (had run) down. So finally we left only at 6.30. No sooner (8)(had we gone) two kilometers than the car started jerking. It (9) ( turned) out we(10) (had run) out of petrol and we had to stop at the petrol station to fill up the tank. We got to the station at three minutes to seven. I kissed my father goodbye, jumped on the train and breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as I reached the next station, I realized that I(11) (was running) on the wrong train. I(12) (was travelling) to Istambul, not Paris!
