A Busy Saturday: Part 1

Last Saturday, Daniel woke up early because he wanted to finish several things before dinner. First, he cleaned his apartment and studied English for an hour. Then, his cousin Valeria came over with coffee and breakfast. They talked for a while, and Daniel helped her choose a jacket for a family party.

After that, Daniel picked up his friend Mateo and they played soccer in the park. It rained for a few minutes, but the game continued. Daniel was on the go all day, so he was tired when he arrived home.

In the evening, he cooked pasta, watched a movie, and called it a night at ten. Just before he went to bed, his phone rang. It was Valeria. She said she needed his help on Sunday morning and asked him to meet her at the bus station. Daniel did not know where they were going, but he agreed to go.
