Time's up
It was a rainy morning when Andy woke up. It was late for him already, and he rushed to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, got dressed and went downstairs. After having breakfast, he left quickly because he didn’t want to be late for school. It was raining cats and dogs by the time he got to school, but he couldn’t enter the building because it was closed. He didn’t understand. An old lady who was passing by, looked at him, smiled, and told him: “If you want to come to school, boy…you’d better make sure it’s not Sunday. It’s a cold morning. Go home”. Embarrassed, Andy thought: “at least, I wasn’t late to class”, and went back home.
