There days in one's life when everything can go wrong. He can get into trouble at every move. I one such day last week.

It Friday when I woke up at 7 am. The sun already bright. I to be at the bus stop at the latest 7.15 to reach school by 7.30 am. I rushed to the bathroom for a quick wash and turned on the tap. There no water, and it dry! However, I managed with a pail of water, which my mother left there the previous night. I quickly dressed myself up and slipped out of my house without my mother's knowledge. I knew my mother would be angry for what I done that day.

I reached the bus stop within five minutes. Alas! The bus gone a few seconds before. I concluded as there no students at the bus stop. I no choice but to call a passing taxi. I lucky to get one and jumped into it. I cheered up, thinking that I would reach school on time. When I put my hand in my pocket to pay for the taxi fare, I horrified to find the pocket empty. I no money! "What shall I ?" As the taxi stopped at the gate of my school, I met my form teacher. I explained to him my situation, and he kind enough to help me pay the fare. I much relieved and ran to the class. I regained my spirit when I found that I reached the school before the bell.

Then I noticed something peculiar. I the only student around. "Am I late after all?" I quickened my steps, and suddenly I heard a shout, "What you doing here?" I turned back and saw my principal standing in front of me. "Why you late for school?" When I looked at my watch, it showed 7.30 am. "I am not, Sir," It just 7.30 now. I realized then my watch running ten minutes late. "Your watch show the correct time, boy. You better hurry to your class now," I blushed at the thought of my blunders and cursed my luck. My teacher reprimanded me for late for the lesson.
