On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was not cheap, but I felt it would be worth to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me.
