"Stop! Stop! There´s the shop. It´s there," says Alberta. The car stops.

   Alberta is Anna´s mother and they are on holiday in Egypt. Alberta is an actress. Every year she makes a new film. But today, she wants a haircut. She has a lot of haircuts.

   The driver gets out of the car and opens the door for Alberta. "Good-bye, Anna. Meet me at the hotel in three hours," Alberta says.

   "Quick, you´re late. Bye, Mother." says Anna.

   "Look after Lucretia." There is a cat in the car. Alberta puts her hand on the cat. "Be a good girl, Lucretia," she says to the cat.

   Hamid, the driver, closes the door. "Where are we going now?" he asks Anna.

   "Oh, I don´t know," she replies. "I don´t like Egypt. It´s too hot and there is nothing to do."
