Ill never forget the day of the final match.

Very early in the morning, I woke up and jumped out of bed because I was so excited.
As soon as I looked at my watch, I got the shock of my life. It was 11.15 and the match had already started!
I immediately ran outside to get a taxi to the sports centre.
In the end, we won the match.
When it was all over, we had a good laugh. Ive never been so embarrassed!
By the time I got there, the match was half over. The coach was very angry with me.
After I had apologised a hundred times, he let me play.
But then I realised that it was still dark outside, so I lay down again.
A couple of hours later, I woke up again.

and enjoying the sun.
Suddenly we saw a huge whale coming out of the water.
It had lost his way!
At first, we sat there watching helplessly as it lay on the sand, unable to move.
Then we called the local police, and soon a group
of rescue workers came.
They told us to help them pour water over the whale in order to keep it cool and wet.
We did this for
hours.
It was exhausting work, and we had no idea whether our new friend would live
or die. Six hours later, a wave came and pulled the whale back out to sea.
At last it was free and safe!
I was so
glad to be one of the people that had helped save the whales life.
