Life is colorful. However, life sometimes
plays jokes on us, especially when one has a bad day. Ryu is an unlucky one.
Ryu got up late in the morning. He set the
alarm clock at 8:00 a.m. the night before because he had a job interview at a
company today. But the alarm clock didn't ring. How strange!
Then Ryu sat at the kitchen table where his
breakfast usually was, but it wasn't there. Instead, he found a note left by his
sister, "I am really busy today. Make breakfast yourself." So Ryu had
a quick breakfast of bread and milk. Then he rode his bicycle to the company
for the interview.
When Ryu arrived, he was scolded(责骂) by the angry boss(老板) for being five minutes
late. But he still got the job after the interview. Also, he was told to get to
work at 9:00 a.m. the next day. That night Ryu went to bed earlier at 11:00 p.m.,
in order not to be late the next day.
The next morning, Ryu's sister woke him up
at 8:00 a.m. But he wanted to stay in bed for five more minutes. He finally had
to get up when the sunlight shone down on his eyes. He did everything like any
other normal day. When he finished his breakfast, he found it was already 9:05 a.m.
He was late again.
