An Unlucky Day
One
morning, I got up with the feeling that the day was going to be an unlucky one
for me. How right it was! Found that it was already 06:15 a.m..
I
rushed into the bathroom. I did not see a piece of soap lying on the floor, I
stepped on it and slipped, almost breaking my back in the process.
Then,
I went into the dining room for my breakfast. I gulped down the tea without
realizing that it was very hot. It burnt my tongue. I spat it out and could not
eat anything because my tongue hurt. I got dressed and rushed to the bus stop.
Unfortunately,
I just missed the bus. My heart sank and I knew that I would be late for
school.
When
I reached school. My name was taken down by the teacher. The teacher scolded me
for being late. To my humiliation, I was made to stand outside the class. I was
so upset by the incidents that I could not study properly. But worse was to
come.
After
school, I was on my way home when something hard hit me on the head. Someone
hand thrown a bag of fish bones out of the window and it landed on me! I was
boiling with rage but could do nothing. However, luckily for me, this only
raised a small lump on my head.
I managed to reach
home safe and sound, and did not dare to go out again for the rest of the day
