slipped. Almost breaking my à event

back in process.
Then, I went into dining room for my
breakfast.
I gulfed down the tea
without realized that is was very hot.
It burnt my tongue. I
spilt it out and could not eat anything because à event 2
my tongue hurt. I got
dressed and rushed to the bus stop.
Unfortunately, I just
missed the bus. My heart sank and I knew that
I would be late for
school.
When I reached school, my name was taken
down by the teacher.
The teacher scolded me
for being late. To my humiliation, I was made
to stand outside the
class. I was so upset by the incidents that I could not à event 3
study properly, but
worse was to come.
After school, I was on my way home when
something hard hit me
on the head. Someone had
thrown a big of fish bones out of the window à event 4
and it landed on me! I
was boiling with rage but could do nothing.
However, luckily for me,
this only raised a small lamp lump on my head.
I
manage to reached home safe and sound and did not dare
to go out again for the
rest of the day. àRe-orientation
