The day I was sick

I was completely drenched in the heavy downpour When I

reached home, I sneezed continuously and shivered with

cold That night, I felt weak and feverish

The next morning, I did not go to school My mother

brought me to the doctor He said I had the flu and gave

me an injection to speed up recovery He also prescribed

some big white tablets for me I was advised to drink more

water, take more fresh fruits and have plenty of rest

When I reached home, I went straight to bed I felt so

weak that my mother had to carry my meals and medicine

to my bed For lunch, my mother made me a light soup to

go with some bread She also peeled an orange for me

After the simple but nutritious meal, I slept the whole

afternoon away

My best friend, Sufen, called me in the evening She

sounded concerned and asked me to get better soon She

also told me some of the funny things that happened in

school that day to cheer me up

That night, I felt much better “Perhaps I can go back to

school tomorrow,” I thought before falling asleep

The day I was late for school

It was well past midnight but I was still up watching the

World Cup Soccer Finals My mother was away on a tour,

so I was free to stay up as late as I liked

The next morning, even the two alarm clocks ringing

loudly did not wake me up! I finally woke up from a

nightmare in which my favorite football team was

defeated It was already eight in the morning! I jumped out

of bed and quickly washed my face Then slipping into my

school uniform, I ran out of the flat

I ran to school as fast as my legs could carry me In my

haste, I tripped and fell, bruising my knees Finally I

reached school Before I could catch my breath to greet

my teacher, she asked me, “Who won the World Cup –

Germany or Argentina?” The whole class roared with

laughter Quickly, I apologized for being late and added,

“Germany won.”

I was not allowed to sit for the class test because I was too

late I felt ashamed of myself and resolved never to stay

up so late again
