One day last summer I was walking through the local park. It was a hot day and I was
eating an ice cream. As I was walking past the boating lake, I saw my friends, Carol and
Jim. They were taking their dog for a walk. When we met, we stopped for a chat. While
we were talking, the dog suddenly jumped up and tried to get my ice cream. I pulled my
hand away and unfortunately the ice cream came out of the cone. Now there was a bald
man behind me. The poor man wasn’t doing anything harm. He was just sitting on a
bench and reading a newspaper.When I pulled my hand away, the ice cream flew through
the air and landed on the man’s head. I didn’t know what to do then. I was terribly
embarrassed!
