It WAS (1) friday afternoon. Mike and his friend Peter WANTED (2) to go to the cinema. They DECIDED (3) to see the new action film BLOOD DIAMOND with Leonardo DiCaprio. Peter SAID (4) that he was going to check the newspapers in order to see at what time the film is on schedule at their local cinema.
Peter CALLED (5) Mike and TOLD (6) him that the film starts at 7 p.m. Mike's dad DROVE (7) them to the cinema in his new car. The boys ARRIVED (8) at the cinema at 6:30 p.m. Mike BOUGHT (9) the tickets for the front row. They WANTED (10) to be as close to the action as possible. Peter BOUGHT (11) some pop-corn and M&M's. They WENT (12) to their seats in the front row.
They WERE (13) excited. They COULDN'T (14) wait for the film to start. After the usual commercial messages, the film finally STARTED (15). As the music STARTED (16) loud and the screen WAS (17) dark for a few seconds, Peter's and Mike's eyes WERE (18) glued to the screen as the film title appeared: HAPPY FEET.
Mike and Peter were silent. The even STOPPED (19) breathing for a few seconds. They WAITED (20) for the title to change from HAPPY FEET to BLOOD DIAMOND. But the title DIDN'T CHANGE (21). All of a sudden the screen WAS (22) full of animated penguins. The two of them FELT (24) to laugh out loud. They almost FELL (25) off their seats from laughter.
They LOOKED (26) at each other and DECIDED (27) to stay and see the film till the end. Instead of beind in the middle of an action film, they were in the middle of the North Pole.
They WERE (28) very happy after this film. Their parents LAUGHED (29) too when they TOLD (30) them what HAPPENED (31).
"Next time I'll check the newspapers," said Mike when they GOT (32) home.
