How many cards did the writer send?

Article

Postcards always spoil my holidays.

Last summer,I went to Italy.

I visited museums and sat in public gardens.

A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian.

Then he lent me a book.

I read a few lines,but i did not understand a ward.

Every day i thought about postcards.

My holidays passed quickly,but i did not send cards to my friends.

On the last day,i made a big decision.

I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards.

I spent the whole day in my room,but i did not write a single card!
