The journey time to the airport

To the next lesson

You definitely do not want to miss your flight, so you work out the journey time: How long is the journey from here to the airport if I leave tomorrow at 8 am?

You are in the house of a railway enthusiast, his very cramped locomotive parked outside (how long); he is eating something in his armchair, and to get his attention you dance the cha-cha, wiggle your ears and nod (is the journey). He is holding a bible, so he is clearly devout (from), and the bookmark is a piece of cloth with a stag with a red coat on it (here). He puts the bible on a cloth next to a jar of mustard (to the) and points towards the airport (the airport): first he has to find a hedgehog on the way (if) that has an egg in its snout (I) and lies in the grass on all fours (leave). Then you go through the tunnel that is open in the mornings (tomorrow), behind it elderly aunts are eating an egg (at eight), and ants and a little mouse want to pinch it (am).
