As she was leaving the house, she forgot her bus ticket. Only when
she got to the bus stop did she realise this, so she had to hurry back
to the house. She opened the door, put the keys on the telephone
table, went into the kitchen to get her bus ticket and left again without
her keys.
She caught the 8.42 a.m bus instead of her usual 8.30 a.m bus and
arrived at work about ten minutes late. Mr. Jones, her boss, was in a
bad mood yesterday and shouted at her when she arrived late. As a
result, they had an argument in front of all the other people in the
office. Mr. Jones told her she would have to stay behind for fifteen
minutes at lunch to finish some important work.
At lunch, Marge only had time for a quick sandwich and didn't go to
the office cafeteria with the others as normal. Everyone returned from
lunch very happy because they had met a new employee who had told
some very funny jokes. Marge was not happy. She was hungry and
tired.
She was so hungry as she left the office at 5 o'clock that she bought a
hot dog from the man on the street corner. Within an hour, she didn't
feel very well and had a pain in her stomach. It was not her day!
She arrived home and realised she didn't have her keys, so had to
walk two miles to her sister's house to get a spare set of keys. She
went into her house, closed the door and went straight to bed.
