Yesterday I heard my alarm clock but I went back to sleep. I got up late and ran to the kitchen. I burnt my tongue because the milk was too hot! I also cut my finger on a knife and my butter and jam toast fell on the carpet, on the wrong side of course! Afterwards I hit my foot against the door. Ouch, it hurt! When I opened the door of its cage, my canary flew away. Ten minutes later, I caught him in a net and put him back into the cage. Of course, I left home late and missed the bus. I took my bike and rode to school. It was so cold that my fingers froze. There I had a horrible history test. I was so nervous that I broke my pen and forgot everything I knew. In the afternoon, the PE teacher taught us how to fight. I fought against a big boy who beat me so hard that I lost a tooth. And even worse! Somebody stole my MP3 player in my locker. I couldn't believe it! Fortunately, my alarm clock rang again and I realised it was only a bad dream, a real nightmare! What a relief!
