Next morning after the party Max woke up very early. He looked at his watch. It was a quarter past seven. His brother Alex was sleeping quietly in his bed. Max tried to get up, but he couldn't do it, because his leg hurt him. Besides, he had an awful headache.
«What happened to me?» he thought, and suddenly he remembered that yesterday evening he had to carry a large heavy table, because Kate was going to have dinner in the garden under a big tree.
Max had to do it alone, because Alex, Dan and Kate's future husband went to neighbours. These neighbours bought a hew laptop computer on that day, and they didn't know how to use it. Of course, one of the great programmers, one of the great specialists could stay and help Max with the table. But unfortunately, they didn't, and Max hurt his leg. No, he wasn't weak. On the contrary, he was very strong. But there were stairs in the house, and it was very difficult to take the heavy large table out.
Finally Max got up, put on some of his clothes - a T-shirt and trousers, and went out into the garden.
it was a nice morning, the air was fresh, and the sky was clean. Max sat down on a small chair in the garden, took some latest journals and magazines from the table, and began to look through them. He didn't feel good, but he didn't want to wake up his friends.
Suddenly he heard a voice from the left. He turned his head and saw a tall boy of twelve or thirteen years old with a laptop computer in his hand.
«Excuse me. May I ask you a question? said he.
«What's the matter?» asked Max.
«You see,» said the boy, «I wasn't sleeping all night long. I was chatting with different people in foreign countries. There is one girl in England - she's waiting for my answer.
I must answer her soon. - But I have no Internet connection now.»
«You need a new Internet card,» said Max.
«Can you drive a car?» asked the boy.
«Of course», said Max.
«But I don't have a driving licence here. It' is at home».
«It doesn't matter,» said the boy. «We'll take my father's licence».
«It won't do», said Max. «This English girl will have to wait a little. You should ask your father when he wakes up. I hope he'll drive you to the shop.»
«Okay,» said the boy and went home.
