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 I 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 had 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.
