First trip to
the movies
Zoe and Brad were remembering back to when Uncle Rob had taken
them to their first movie. Their friends at school had been loads of times,
but for the twins, this was a first.
As they arrived, Zoe cried out, ‘Smell that popcorn! Please may we have
some, Uncle Rob?’ He smiled at their excited faces. How could he refuse
them?
The children ran down the long line of doors, each leading to a cinema
showing a different movie. Their door was the last one on the left. As they
walked through it, they fell silent.
‘It’s so dark in here! How will we find our way in?’ asked Brad. They
walked very slowly up the short, dark passage. When they reached
the end and turned the corner, they could just see the huge curtains
covering the screen and the seats set out in rows. Dim lights helped
them to find their way in and to choose their seats.

Suddenly, they were in darkness again and they heard a swish as
the giant curtains opened. Music started and the children stared in
amazement as adverts for fast foods and new movies appeared on the
screen and shouted at them from large speakers all around the cinema.

Then the lights came on and the curtains closed. The twins were
confused. Seconds later, it was dark again and they heard the curtains
swish open once more.
‘At last!’ laughed Zoe and Brad together. ‘Our first movie!’
