Question

Jane How did the quiz show go? Pip Well, I came second to last, so at least I wasn't the worst! My best friend came third. The questions were really hard. After the quiz show host had asked me for my name, he asked me what the capital city of Egypt was. I said Marrakesh, but I immediately knew it was wrong! I'd revised all the capital cities last month. I felt so embarrassed. Jane Pip Jane Pip Jane Pip Jane Pip Jane Pip Couldn't you remember? No! I'd even been to Cairo the year before - no, actually, I think it was the year before that. I went to Morocco this summer, so I think I got confused! Then he asked how many miles there were in eight kilometres. No idea! That sounds difficult. Not at all. I knew that five miles equal eight kilometres. Finally, he asked me when the Olympics had last been held in Greece. Well, I know it was in China in 2008. So, I'm guessing it was in 2004... or 2006? You were right the first time! I said 2002. I'm not into sport! Anyway, it was disappointing, but not the end of the world. I don't think I'll do it again! A week later, I got an email from Emir, the guy who'd won. He told me to phone him. When I did, he said that he wanted to share his prize money with the other contestants! At first I didn't believe him, but now I think it's true. How kind! I know. He's really the opposite of arrogant. I feel really bad about accepting it, though, because he is was the one who won! No, you might hurt his feelings by refusing. You don't want that, do you?
