Microfiction Revision: Touchdown in Rome

The plane touched down at around 10 AM, but back home it would only be 3 AM.

But I wasn't tired. I had just landed in Rome and as I got my luggage I went out to look for my ride. 

"Rohit! Over here! Right here!" I heard people calling my name. I looked around quickly to see where the voices were coming from and spotted my two cousins waving frantically to get my attention. 

I went over and hugged my cousins who I hadn't seen in almost three years! And just like that we were ready to start out adventures throughout Italy's cities.

Author's Note: For this revision process I tried to add more detail with slight changes in wording. I added contractions where appropriate so that I could add in the words.

    On this day a great many millennia ago the Bodhisattva lived as a monkey, but not as an ordinary money. No, here the Bodhisattva lived as the Great Monkey and was as a big as an ape that resided in the jungle. Because of this the Great Monkey had to feast on many fruits to satiate the hunger it always felt. However, one day the Bodhisattva realized that it had ate all the delicious fruits on its side of the Ganges and while she was looking for more nourishment the Bodhisattva spotted the abundant fruit trees on the opposite side of the Ganges, but there was just one problem: the Great Monkey did not know how to swim.      To get to the other side she needed help and decided to ask the male and female crocodiles who lived in the Ganges to help her get to the other side. When the pair of crocodiles heard her proposition the wife got greedy and very much wanted to eat the Great Monkey, so she told her husband to trick the Bodhisattva and bring her to the wife in the deepest part of th
