Last Monday Angie got up for work as usual and
went to the kitchen to have some breakfast. But when she opened the fridge, she found that her flat-mate Lucy had drunk all the milk – not a good
start to the day! So she had a quick
cup of black coffee, got dressed and
went out to the car. There she found that she had forgotten to put the cover on the car the night before and
there was thick frost all over the
windscreen. She scraped it all off
and got into the car. However, when
she turned the key, nothing happened! Someone had left the headlights on and the battery went flat. She was
furious as Lucy had used the car
last and it was her who had forgotten to switch off the lights.
Angie headed for the bus stop to
wait in the freezing cold.
