It was the last day of our vacation. My sister and I were buying some souvenirs when we saw a poster for a Jay-Z concert. We tried to buy tickets but they had sold out. We were really disappointed because we had wanted to do something special on our last night. In the end, we went to a restaurant. When we were ordering our meal, Jay-Z walked in and sat at the table next to us! We told him we were big fans of him. We really wanted to watch his concert

but the tickets were sold out. He felt sorry and invited us to the concert. We had the best night ever.
