Marge
is a woman of 55 who lives on her own in a small house in Scotland. She did not
have a very nice day yesterday!
As
she was leaving the house, she forgot her bus ticket. Only when she got to the
bus stop did she realise this, so she had to hurry back to the house. She
opened the door, put the keys on the telephone table, went into the kitchen to
get her bus ticket and left again without her keys.
She
caught the 8.42 a.m bus instead of her usual 8.30 a.m bus and arrived at work
about ten minutes late. Mr. Jones, her boss, was in a bad mood yesterday and
shouted at her when she arrived late. As a result, they had an argument in
front of all the other people in the office. Mr. Jones told her she would have
to stay behind for fifteen minutes at lunch to finish some important work.
At
lunch, Marge only had time for a quick sandwich and didn't go to the office
cafeteria with the others as normal. Everyone returned from lunch very happy
because they had met a new employee who had told some very funny jokes. Marge
was not happy. She was hungry and tired.
She
was so hungry as she left the office at 5 o'clock that she bought a hot dog
from the man on the street corner. Within an hour, she didn't feel very well
and had a pain in her stomach. It was not her day!
She
arrived home and realised she didn't have her keys, so had to walk two miles to
her sister's house to get a spare set of keys. She went into her house, closed
the door and went straight to bed.
