1. AN INTERVIEW FOR A JOB
On Wednesday I had an important interview for a job. I
got up at 7 o'clock in the
morning and shaved carefully. I put on my best jacket
and trousers. I had to travel by
train, so I walked to the station.
On my way I saw a man who was painting his fence with
red paint. The man didn't
notice me: he was looking at the fence. Then he turned
suddenly and splashed my
beautiful trousers! The man apologised to me, but the
damage had already been done.
"If I go home, I will be late for the
interview," I thought. There was a department store
not far from the station, so I decided to buy a new
pair.
I found a nice pair of trousers and since I was in a
hurry, I decided to change on the
train. The shop was full, so I paid hurriedly for my
trousers, took my shopping bag and left.
I arrived at the station just in time to catch the
train. Now I was sure that I wouldn't be
late for the interview. I smiled happily at an elderly
lady who was staring at my trousers
and went to the toilet to change. I threw my stained
trousers out of the window. Then I
opened the bag to get my new ones, but all I found was
a pink woollen sweater!
