The day after, April and Laura finish at three o’clock. They go to a cafe and drink Russian tea. Then Laura looks at her map of Moscow. “Where do you want to go? The Pushkin Museum’s near here,’’ she says.

“OK - let’s go there,” says April. Then she looks at the people in the cafe. “1 want to talk to them,” she thinks. “But how? I can’t speak Russian.”

In a street near the museum there is a small market. “Oh Laura, look,” says April. She can see some red and yellow boxes on a table. “Those are pretty.”
