Cloudy    12 July

    Today is an unlucky day for me. In the morning, my brother and I planned to visit our grandparents. They live in a small village, far away from us. I seldom visit them and I decided to visit them today. Before going out, one classmate of my brother's called and invited him to see a film. My brother is interested in films. So he decided to see the film with his classmate. I still wanted to visit my grandparents, so I took a taxi and asked the driver to take me there. Unluckily the driver lost his way. He drove the car around the village for a long time and then left me near a bus station. At that time I didn't find my wallet and I couldn't pay him. It was terrible. The driver asked me to call my grandparents, but nobody answered the phone. I had to go back home to get some money. What a pity! I paid a lot of money, but I couldn't visit my grandparents. Now I hope they can forgive (原谅) me.
