The other day I (finish) work earlier than usual. The weather (be) fine, so I (decide) (take) a walk. While I (pass) one of the
numerous pubs, I (realize) that I not (have) anything to drink since morning and that I certainly (like) a pint of beer. There (be) nothing better than cold beer on a hot day like this! I (think) and (enter) the Golden Bar. I (see) men and women (sit) at their tables over a glass of beer. The beer (bring) soon, but as I not (be) in the bar before, I (take) a look around. Almost every seat (occupy). I watched people (talk) and (laugh). Finally I (finish) my beer and (be) about (leave) the bar when it (begin) (rain). I (wait) for ten minutes but the rain not (stop). The strange part of it was that there (be) no clouds in the sky and yet it (rain) hard. I (can) not possibly (go out) as I not (take) an umbrella with me. I (expect) the rain (stop) soon, so I (change) my mind and (order) a substantial lunch. I (notice) many people (do) the same, so the waiter (have) a lot of work to do. It (rain) for an hour already, but the rain (show) no sign of stopping. Its time I (leave), I (think) and (go out). I (walk) a few steps in a hurry and then (stop) in surprise. There (be) no rain. All the time I (sit) in the bar, there (be) no rain at all!
But just a few yards away from the front door of the bar an elderly woman (sit) comfortably on a chair. She (hold) a hose1 linked to a tap. She (water) the pavement in front of the bar.
A clever man, that barman was! He (want) people (stay) in his bar as long as possible. And his trick (work) with me as well.
