My parents have always loved everything about India, so a year ago we went on holiday there. It’s a wonderful    15  with beautiful scenes and interesting people . However, I didn’t enjoy Indian  16  very much.

On the second day we planned to see an old palace. At the  17  they said. “If you go by train, it’ll take you only two hours to get there.” However, the hot   18  took over four hours. I was very  19  when we got there , so we had some rice and vegetables with bread in a small restaurant. We were  20  to find it was quite nice. I wasn’t full up though and I saw a man nearby eating some little meatballs.

I said to my dad, “I’ve been eating rice all week. Can I have some meatballs please?”

Well, they looked delicious so I ate the first one very  21  . I was just putting the second one in my mouth when I felt myself  22 —my mouth was on fire! I started to cough（咳嗽）and there were tears (泪水)in my eyes. I couldn’t  23  how spicy (辛辣的) it was!

I drank about ten glasses of water but the worst thing was everyone was laughing at me. You couldn’t make me eat another Indian meatball for all the   24   in the world!
