but when I stepped out of the door, it began to rain. I had
to go back to the apartment to get my umbrella. The
elevator was not working, so I climbed six floors to my
place. When I got back downstairs, I was so tired that I sat
down on a bench to rest.

By that time, it had stopped raining, but the ground was still
wet. A brown dog walked toward me and begged for
something to eat. I tried to ignore him, but he splashed
water all over my new shoes. Finally, the bus came, and I
left to the supermarket.

When I arrived at the supermarket, I realized I forgot my
shopping list, so I couldn't remember everything I wanted to
buy. I bought some beef, pork, and chicken. I also bought
lots of fruits and vegetables, like strawberries, apples,
carrots, potatoes, and corn.

After the cashier took my money, he gave me the wrong
change. I asked for the correct amount of money, and he
looked angry. I was not happy when I left the supermarket.

Also, 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 so many groceries? Then,
there were no seats. I had to stand in the bus with all my
groceries. Then my carrots fell out of the bag, and I had to
pick them up.

And the worst thing? When I arrived home to cook dinner, I
remembered I forgot the pasta I wanted. What a day!
