Last summer my parents took me and my sister Iza on a trip to London. Unfortunately the trip included some obligatory sightseeing. When on the third day of our stay we went to another enormous museum, I decided to pretend I was sick so that I could stay outside and have a break.
I was sitting on a bench looking around, when suddenly I noticed in the crowd a face I knew. I shouted 'Hi!', ignoring the fact that I was abroad and there was little chance of meeting a friend. The man quietly nodded. In that moment I realised why the face seemed familiar! The man I'd just seen walking so close was my sister's favourite actor - Robert Pattinson! I had seen that face a million times on the posters all over our room!
I dashed to catch him as I obviously had to have his autograph for my sister. Fortunately the crowd was hardly moving, so Robert hadn't gone far. I was pleasantly surprised with his friendly attitude when I approached him and introduced myself. He agreed to be photographed and signed his name on my T-shirt.
When my parents and sister finished their tour of the museum after over one hour, Iza couldn't believe her eyes when I showed her my trophies. She was so angry she hadn't stayed with me outside the museum. 'Well,' I said modestly, 'I was in the right place at the right time.'
