Narrator: Speaker 2
Speaker 2: I was on holiday in Venice with a friend and we were doing a tour
of a four-hundred-year-old palace where the ceilings were covered
in amazing paintings. My friend suddenly burst out laughing and
started photographing something in the corner of one of the
rooms. I asked her what was going on, but before she could tell
me I’d spotted it myself. A chubby little cherub in the painting was
peering over the edge of a cloud and its face looked exactly like
mine – I couldn’t believe it! I still have a photo and people I know
always look out for it when they go to Venice.
