After we had painted the door we did not put the boxes with paint where they belonged. We were in a hurry as we had to meet our friends at the airport at seven p.m. When we returned home, we saw that something terrible had happened. Our dog Rex became yellow in many parts of his body. He had definitely lain on the sofa or maybe had slept on it, as there were yellow marks all over. I had put my new white blouse on the armchair before we left. I do not have a fashionable blouse any more. Rex had touched it too.
