Last Friday, I had a really bad day. While I was having breakfast with my younger sister, the sky was growing darker and darker. I heard loud thunder and saw bright lightning flash across the sky. When I left the house, it suddenly started raining heavily. I had forgotten my umbrella, so I had to run all the way to school. On the way, a car drove through a huge puddle and splashed muddy water all over me! I was completely wet and dirty.
When I finally arrived at school, I discovered that my homework inside my bag was also wet. I thought my teacher would be angry, but she was actually very understanding. She smiled and told me I could hand it in the next day. Although the morning was awful, things turned out okay in the end.
