One day I got up with the feeling that the day was going to be unlucky day for me. I found that it was already 6.50.

I rush into the bathroom. In a hurry I did not see a piece of soap lying on the floor. I stepped on it and slipped.

Then I went into dining room for my breakfast. I gulped down the tea without realizing that it was very hot, so it burnt my tongue. I got dressed and rushed to the bus stop. Unfortunately, I just missed the bus.

My heart sank and knew that I would be late for school and my teacher would be angry at me again.
