Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very
worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a
few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As
soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my
schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an
exciting film on TV and after that I played computer games. I
liked the games so much that I played until midnight.
The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school
without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for
my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach,
I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired
and sleepy at school all day long.
