It was Sunday morning, the day that I was waiting for. The sun greeted me, and I
decided to wake up although it was still 5 a.m. I planned to jog around the park. I changed my
clothes and went to the bathroom to wash my face. In the bathroom, I stepped on soap on the
floor and fell down. What a perfect morning! Next, I began jogging and saw my gorgeous
neighbor at the park. I thought it was a good fortune to clear the gap between us. Therefore, I
jogged next to him and said hello. How poor I was! It was not him. He was just someone I
never met before who looked like him. Some people laughed at me.
When I got home, I was so excited seeing the breakfast on the table. I immediately
spooned a big portion of rice. I ate it up. Then, my mom passed the dining room. She got
shocked knowing that I had already eaten the food. It was stale rice and my mom would throw
it away. She was worried that I might get a stomachache. There I was. I got a stomachache for
the next three days.
I spent my weekend laying down on my bed and be served as a queen. That was not
really bad, wasn’t it?
