He has nothing to do on every weekend.    But, one weekend, Marco decided to go to the city. There was a train to the city every Saturday. It left early in the morning.    In the town, he was involved with some troubles. For example, he lost his bag with most of his money, and he stole rest of his money in his pocket.    He was very tired. He wanted to eat something and go back to his home. But, he had no money. Then, he came across one of his acquaintances in the city. And he rode his track and he was take to his home by his car.    He decided not to go to the city again.    I think that the city isn't suited for Marco. Esplen, Mike. (2005). Marco.
