I'd
like to tell you about one of my funniest memories. Two years ago I regularly went to
the swimming pool. It was nearby my house and I attended an aqua-aerobics class two days a week. The receptionist was a middle-aged woman, she rarely
smiled and looked very unfriendly.
It was a typical day
when I entered the swimmingpool's hall. She was sitting there. As usual I had
to bring along some necessary things like a swimsuit, a bathing cap and flip-flops.
She looked at me strictly up and down and asked me if I brought flippers and a
mask for swimming. Her words surprised
me a lot because we had never used them in our aqua-aerobics
class. Can you imagine me with these absurd things on doing some exercises in the
water? I couldn’t imagine either. But the receptionist insistently said it was a rule
for that day so it was impossible to enter the locker room without them. I
started to feel nervous and frustrated. Our trainer couldn’t say it.
Fortunately, the other receptionist was sitting next to her. I cast a questioning look at her - but she confirmed the words told by the first woman! I lost heart and had no
idea what to do next. I was feeling a bit confused – I didn’t want to miss my
classes. Suddenly I noticed that the second woman tried to hide a smile. So I
remembered – it was the first of April! We began to laugh and the ice was
broken.
