The Day Everything Went Wrong

Have you ever had a day in your life when everything went wrong and you got into trouble at every move? Unfortunately, I had one such day a few weeks ago.

It was a Friday. When I woke up, it was 7.00 a.m. The sun was already shining brightly. I had to be at the bus stop at the latest 7.15 a.m. to catch the bus that came a minute after that so that I could reach school by 7.30 a.m. I rushed to the bathroom for a quick wash and turned on the tap. There was no water, it was dry! However, I managed with a bucket of water, which my mother had left there the previous night. I quickly dressed myself up and slipped out of my house without mother’s knowledge. She would be angry if she knew I got up late.

I reached the bus stop within only to find out the bus had gone a few seconds before. I concluded as there were no students at the bus stop. I had no choice but to call a passing taxi. I was lucky to get one and jumped into it. I cheered up a little bit thinking that I would reach school on time. When I put my hand in my pocket to pay for the taxi fare, I was horrified to find the pocket empty. I had no money! “What shall I do?” As the taxi stopped at the gate of my school, I met my form teacher. I explained to him my situation and he was kind enough to help me pay the fare. I was much relieved and ran to the class. I regained my spirit when I found that I had reached school before the bell. I hurried up the stairs to my class which was on the third floor. When I was on top of the last staircase, I slipped and fell down, breaking my arm. I always remember to set my alarm clock before going to bed since then.

An Embarrassing Experience

When I was a student, I had a summer job in an expensive restaurant in Glasgow. One day we were expecting forty members of a football team for lunch. I was given the job of peeling potatoes. I thought I was managing quite well with my small knife until the owner appeared to see how I was getting on. She was amazed that I was using a knife and asked why I wasn’t using the potato peeler. I had no idea what a potato peeler was so she led me into a small room behind the main kitchen. There, on the table, was a small machine like the rubbish bins some people have in their bathrooms. She explained as if to a small child that I had to put the potatoes in, close the lid and press the button. When she came back ten minutes later, I told her I thought it was quicker to do it by hand. She asked what I meant. “Well, they aren’t ready yet,” I replied. You can imagine how I felt when she lifted the lid and took out the potatoes the size of peas. The potato peeler was not automatic.
