Dear Patrick,
I'm in an Internet cafe at the moment because I really have to tell you something. Yesterday my brother and I visited Madame Tussaud's - you know, the museum with waxworks of famous people. It's amazing how real they look. I touched the wax figure of Arnold Schwarzenegger when I suddenly saw a sign saying 'Don't touch the waxworks!' It was too Tate. I had already touched it by then. Last night I had a nightmare. It was so horrible that I woke up in the middle of the night shaking all over. I started to panic when suddenly my mum came into my room. `Daniel, you were having a bad dream. Everything is ok,' she said. In my dream I visited the Tower of London because I wanted to see the Crown Jewels. White I was waiting in the long-queue I heard a voice screaming, 'Run quickly! Catch him!' Everybody ran away. Only I was left standing there. I tried to move but I couldn't. Suddenly a strange figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Arnold Schwarzenegger, moving like a robot. He shouted in a terrifying voice, 'You thief! Give the jewels back!' I wanted to run but I couldn't.
Something drew me back. Suddenly the figure grabbed my right arm and threw me high up into the air. Then I was at the police station. When I saw the policeman I was shocked a second time. He looked like Arnold. How could that be? I was trembling with fear (= vor Angst zittern). The
policeman wanted to arrest me because he thought I had stolen the Crown Jewels. I wanted to tell him that I was just a tourist from Austria but he didn’t understand what I said. He only shouted, 'Arrest him!” It was horrible, I can tell you. Then I woke up and happy that t was all just a dream. I’ll have to finish off now because my parents are waiting outside.
We are going shopping on Oxford Street. I want to buy some new jeans and a T-Shirt with the English flag on it. See you next Saturday.
