A week ago, Peter went to a masquerade. He was wearing a suit, a vest and a silly pair of glasses. Trying to be gentle, he was very careful during the party. While moving around, he saw Jenny, who was in a beautiful gown, with a pearl necklace and a crown on her head. He made his way to her. The girl perceived that Peter was moving toward her. She thought Peter was perfect except for the glasses. However, they still fell in love with each other at first sight.

Before the party ended, they had a few conversations and exchanged their addresses and phone numbers. On the way home, Peter just couldn’t stop thinking about Jenny. He thought to himself, “I must show her how deep my love is.” Without thinking too much, he took his guitar and rushed to her place immediately.

With the stars and the moon in the sky, Peter started to sing a love song that he thought Jenny would like. Unfortunately, some residents of the apartment building started to yell at him within a minute. It turned out that Peter was in the wrong place because Jenny had given him a fake address. Not knowing what to do, Peter went home alone sadly and swore that he would never fall for any girl at a masquerade! (222 words) (31105)

You idiot!” At first, Albert thought maybe the man was the girl’s boyfriend. After looking carefully under the moonlight, his face turned green.
