Yesterday, I had a bad day.

I got up early to go shopping,

but as soon as I stepped out of the door,

it began to rain,

so I had to go back to the flat and get my umbrella.

The lift was out of order,

so I had to climb six flights of stairs to get to my place.

When I got back downstairs, I was so exhausted that I had to sit down on a bench to rest.

By that time, it had stopped raining, but the ground was still wet.

A brown dog came to where I was sitting and begged for something to eat.

I tried to ignore him, but he splashed water

all over my brand new shoes.

Finally, the bus came,

and I was on my way to the supermarket.

When I got to the supermarket,

I realised I had forgotten my shopping list,

so I couldn't remember everything I wanted to buy.

I gathered up a few items and carried them to the counter.

After the cashier finished ringing up my purchase,

he gave me the wrong change

and stuffed my groceries into my shopping bags.

I was not in a good mood when I left the supermarket.

If that wasn't bad enough, I had a terrible time on the bus ride home.

First, the bus driver yelled at me because I took too much time to get on.

Couldn't he see that I had both hands full of groceries?

Then, there were no empty seats.

I'm sure that someone on the bus could have offered me a place to sit,

but everyone was so rude.

They pretended not to see me.

I just stood there, leaned against one of the poles in the aisles,

put my head down, and sighed.
