If I could travel through time...
For our April Writing Contest we asked our readers to finish the following sentence: If I could travel through time...
Here's what they had to say.
From Reader's Digest

I would sip xocolatl with the Mayans and find out what the whole 2012 fuss is all about!
-Mr S Burgess
I would go back and check if the many incidents that I'm told happened "When I was your age..." actually happened.
-Ms L Ahmed
It would be a knowledge so sublime,
I would flip history like a a dime,
and then tell myself to never write this rhyme.
-Mr N Janardanan
I would wake upon the last breath of death's kiss, and know what we all forget - the feeling of being born.
Ms B Kitt
I would go back to the time of my birth and watch my progress through life, enjoying the important things I missed the first time.
-Ms A Medcalf
I would witness every major event - Apollo 11, Martin Luther King, the assassination of Kennedy... But I would change nothing. We need our history to learn.
-Ms L Nguyen
I'd dance with Fred Astaire, sing with Doris Day in her hey-day, and witness Picasso creating a masterpiece.
-Mrs D Donato
I’d return to 1987 but this time I’d give spiral perms, mullet-haired blokes driving Datsun 180B’s and acid wash jeans a very wide berth!
-Mrs K Dethomas
I would go back in time to resolve mankind's greatest question once and for all: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
-Ms G Wong
I would invite all the great people to our present time to let them see how influential they have become.
-Ms A Rodis
I'd go back to my pure childhood years, before life removed all innocence, where life was simple and hopes were endless.
-Ms K Dumaquita
