The Day Everything Went Wrong
I won’t forget that black Wednesday when things went wrong one after another with me. On Tuesday, I came from school with heavy assignment of mathematics home work. That night I could not miss my favourite movie and quiz programme on T.V. I thought that I would get up at 4 a.m. and finish the task. I was out of luck. There was power failure just as I was picking up my exercise book. I tried to finish the job in the morning light when the dawn broke. I worked feverishly yet got delayed in the process. Somehow I ran to the bus stop with my back pack on. The bus had gone. I decided to run to the school. Only a few strides had I taken when a banana peel sent me cart wheeling in the air and crash down. My ankle got twisted and I returned home wobbling. I had to stay in bed for two days. I cursed my luck when I learnt that mathematics teacher had taken leave on that day due to illness.
