Chapter 1 A bad start
I’m here, in Norwich! Goodbye to my job in Jack’s Café in London for six days! I feel very, very happy. I want to laugh and shout, and tell everyone about it.
I’m going to be in a film with Fabio Facelli! Yes, me, Sophia Reynolds, with Fabio Facelli! I love Fabio’s fi lms. And now I’m going to be in a fi lm with him!
OK, it isn’t just Fabio and me in the film. There are going to be lots of people. And I’m an ‘extra’. I’m not going to speak, but I’m going to be in the film. With Fabio Facelli!
It’s eight o’clock. I must be at Chapelfield Park at ten o’clock. I have two hours. First I can take my bag to my hotel.
I start to walk, but a woman stops me. ‘Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get to Bank Street?’ she asks.
I smile at the woman. ‘I don’t know Norwich, but I’ve got a map,’ I tell her.
‘Thank you,’ says the woman.
The map is big and it’s a windy day. My hair is over my face and I can’t see. I try to find Bank Street. But the wind takes the map from my hands.
‘Oh!’ I start to laugh. The woman tries to help, but the wind is taking my map away.
‘Come back here!’ I shout and I run down the street after the map.
The map goes under a bus. I wait for the bus to stop. Then I go and get the map. I walk back up the street, but I can’t see the woman. I look for her up and down the street. ‘That’s funny,’ I think. I put the map back in my bag. Then I see that something’s wrong.
‘These aren’t my things!’ I say. ‘This isn’t my bag! Oh no, she’s got my bag!’
I look up and down the street again, but the woman isn’t there. I don’t know what to do. Everything’s going wrong. First the map, now my bag. Then I see something – a police station.
I take the woman’s bag and start to run. I run to the police station, and I go in.
‘My bag!’ I shout at a policeman behind the desk. ‘She’s got my bag. You must help me. Please!’
第 1章 糟糕的开始
我来了,诺里奇!我告别伦敦杰克咖啡店的工作有六天了!我非常非 常开心。我想笑想喊,想告诉每个人。 我要和法比奥?法切利一起拍电影了!没错,我,索菲亚?雷诺兹, 和法比奥?法切利!我酷爱法切利的电影。如今我要和他一起演电影啦!
好吧,电影里不只有我和法比奥,会有很多很多人。我是个“临时演 员”。我没有台词,但我会出现在电影里,和法比奥?法切利一起! 现在是八点。十点钟我必须出现在切伯菲尔德公园。还有两个小时。 我可以先把包送到宾馆。
我刚开始走,一位女士叫住了我。“劳驾,您能告诉我怎么去银行街 吗?”她问。 我朝这位女士笑了笑:“我不熟悉诺里奇,不过我有地图,”我告诉她。 “谢谢!”女士说。 地图很大,今天又是个大风天。头发遮住了我的脸,我看不见了。我 要找银行街,可风把地图从我手中刮跑了。 “啊!”我大笑起来。那位女士想帮我,但风已经把地图刮远了。
“回来!”我边喊边沿街追地图。
地图飘到了一辆公交车下。我等着公交车停下,然后过去捡起地图。我沿街往回走,那位女士却不见了。我在街上来回找她。“真奇怪,”我想。我把地图放回包里时,却发现事情有点不对劲儿。
“这些不是我的东西!”我说。“这不是我的包!哦,天啊,她4把我的包拿走了!”
我又在街上来回寻找,但不见那位女士。我不知道如何是好。事情全弄糟了,先是地图,现在是包。这时,我看到了什么——警察局。
我拎起那位女士的包跑了起来。我跑到警察局,走了进去。
“我的包!”我朝桌子后面的一个警察大声喊道。“她拿走了我的包。你得帮帮我。拜托了!”
