Karol was in the back seat with his friends. 2_________________.

Science was interesting for Karol – you could push buttons and switch on machines. But ancient history was terrible! Karol was bored.

Karol decided to look around the museum on his own. He went down some stairs, along a corridor and past some offices. It was very quiet and then very dark. 5___________________.
