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.
Any question?
