QUESTION 2: Simple past.

Last week I decided to invite some friends to dinner. I bought lots of delicious food, including some Parma ham and at about 6.00 I cooked  in the kitchen. The sun shane  and it was a beautiful day, so, I opened the back door. Then the telephone rang . I went to answer it and when I came back the ham wasn't on the table. I looked out of the window. A cat sat on my garden wall and it ate  my ham. What could I do? I filled a pan with water and I went quietly outside. The cat didn't look  in my direction and it enjoyed  the ham so much that it didn't hear me. I walked slowly up to it, I wanted to empty the water over its head. A bit cruel. I know but the ham was very expensive but at the last moment the cat heard me and escaped in the neighbourhood.
