I only slept for three hours last night. At ten, we heard a cry
from Mrs. Wayan’s home. She is our next-door neighbour.
She’s 70 years old and very weak. She lives alone. We went
there quickly, and we found her on the floor. She just fell.
She could not move her hands and her legs. At 10.30, my
parents and I took Mrs. Wayan to hospital. My father and
I sat in the front seats. In the back seats, my mum was
holding Mrs. Wayan. In the emergency room, a doctor
examined her. Then he said Mrs. Wayan had to stay in
the hospital. When she was already in the ward, we went
home. It was 2 a.m.
You look tired and sleepy. Why?

Yes, last Saturday, my little sister, Dina, did something
funny. She got up very late, at six. She ran fast to the
bathroom. She thought she would be late to school. She
forgot it was Saturday. She took a very quick bath, got
dressed, took her bag, and ran off to school. She did not
even have breakfast. After walking for five minutes, she
noticed that no other children were going to school.
Soon she realized it was Saturday! So, she walked back
home. We all laughed at her when she got home. She also
laughed at herself. Then she changed her clothes, and
went back to bed! My naughty sister!
