Karim was looking forward to visiting the farm cafe. The farm cafe was so near to
Karim’s house that Karim could smell the delicious smells every time Karim walked
into Karim’s garden. Karim wanted to take Karim’s friends with Karim, but Karim

Karim, so Karim chose Sana. Sana was looking forward to it.
