I believe that most things in our life happen for a reason. However, it’s up to us to find out which reason exactly. Once I was going through a very strange day. Since early morning I had a series of failures. At first, I spilled the entire cup of coffee on a sofa. Then, I got stuck in the lift and one of our neighbors had to call the technician. On the way to school I was hit by a bike. Consequently, I arrived late for the first lesson and was punished by our senior teacher. At the lesson of geography I got a bad mark. After all, I thought this day was never going to end. All I wanted is to get back home as soon as possible and to watch my favourite TV show. My friends noticed I was rather weird that day and asked whether everything was all right with me. I told them about the series of mishaps, which were chasing me since early morning. Hearing that, my friend Lisa said that she also had such an upsetting morning, but the day changed to better closer to the evening. She also said I just had to stay calm and ignore these mishaps. As the lessons were over, I hurried home. My parents were still at work, so no one would distract me from watching the “The Big Bang Theory”. As I was trying to unlock the front door, I heard a strange sound, like mewing. At a closer look I saw a middle-sized box next to the lawn with a small, cute kitten in it. I was lost in admiration. I had long dreamt of having a kitten but nobody would present me one. This was such an unexpected surprise. In a flash I forgot about all the incidents that I had during the day. All I wanted is to wait for my parents and thank them for a lovely present. When they returned from work, they were also shocked. Surprisingly, they didn’t buy me a kitten and we never found out who did.

перевод: Я считаю, что большинство вещей в нашей жизни случаются по какой-то причине. Однако мы сами должны выяснить, по какой именно причине. Однажды у меня был очень странный день. С самого утра у меня была серия неудач. Для начала, я пролил целую чашку кофе на диван. Затем, я застрял в лифте, и одному из наших соседей пришлось вызывать техника. По дороге в школу я попал под велосипед. Соответственно, я опоздал на первый урок, за что был наказан завучем. На уроке географии я получил двойку. В итоге, я думал, что этот день никогда не закончится. Все, чего я хотел, так это вернуться домой, как можно скорее и смотреть мой любимый сериал. Мои друзья заметили, что я был довольно странным в этот день и спросили, все ли в порядке со мной. Я рассказал им о серии неудач, которые преследовали меня с раннего утра. Услышав это, моя подруга Лиза сказала, что у нее тоже было однажды такое грустное утро, но день изменился к лучшему ближе к вечеру. Она также сказала, что я должен сохранять спокойствие и игнорировать эти неудачи. Когда уроки закончились, я поспешил домой. Мои родители были еще на работе, поэтому никто не мог отвлечь меня от просмотра «Теории Большого Взрыва». Когда я пытался открыть входную дверь, то услышал странный звук, похожий на мяуканье. Присмотревшись, я увидел коробку среднего размера на газоне с небольшим, милым котенком внутри. Я был в полном восторге. Я давно мечтал иметь котенка, но никто мне его не дарил. Это был такой неожиданный сюрприз. В мгновение ока я забыл обо всех инцидентах, которые происходили со мной в течение дня. Все, чего я хотел, так это дождаться своих родителей и поблагодарить их за прекрасный подарок. Когда они вернулись с работы, они были тоже шокированы. К удивлению, они не покупали мне котенка, и мы так и не узнали, кто это сделал.
