7. Rainy Day
Two weeks ago was the season of rain. I
had a lot of laundries to do even it was rainy.
I forgot to put my laundry under the glass roof to
protect it from the rain. I was in my school and
there was no one in my home. Then the rain was
falling down so hard. I came to my home right
after the rain and the class was over. But
unfortunately, all my laundry were wet.
I totally forgot about the weather two weeks ago.
Then I let my laundry wet and I was regret about
it.
