My father does not speak English. He didn't have much education when he was young. He was nervous about flying to Australia alone to see me.
The plane landed on time. I waited outside to see him but he took a long time to come out. I waited for more than one hour but he didn't turn up.
After nearly two hours I saw someone calling my name. He said they needed my help because they couldn't understand what my father was saying in his language.
When I went inside I saw my father standing next to a customs officer. She told me that my father had two eggs in one of his bags but he hadn't declared them on a card he had to fill in on the plane.
I told the lady that my father does not speak English at all and the card was in English. It was a mistake that he did not intend to make.
My father told me that an air hostess on the plane filled in the card for him. He didn't know what the card was all about.
I explained the problem to the customs officer but she wouldn't listen to me. She said my father had to pay a fine of $2000 because he brought food to Australia and failed to declare it. If he didn't do so, they would send him back to Pakistan straight away. The woman didn't want to listen to my side of the story.
I was angry at what the woman said about my father. After talking to them for more than one hour, I had to pay the money. I was not happy. My father was not happy either. This money is what someone can earn in two years in Pakistan.
