Один из этих дней – One of those days
In our everyday life we face numerous difficulties and I am not an exception. The story I am going to tell you could be a bright example of saying “It never rains but it pours’.
Just a couple of months ago I had “one of those days”. I had cleaned the fridge night before and woke up to find a huge puddle of water on the floor. So I cleared it and was late for school for the test in Maths. Then my friend irritated me because she had forgotten to bring back a dress she had borrowed, which I’d planned to wear to a party that night. It was like a bolt from the blue!
So I went home to find something else to wear. But when I got home I couldn’t find my keys. After looking through the bag several times, I tipped everything out on the pavement and my keys fell straight down
A mud! I nearly went mad!
Unfortunately, all this was only a top of the iceberg. Mother didn’t allow me to go to the party because of my bad results in test. Eventually I had to stay at home thinking about the unjust world!
