Have you ever done something foolish that
made you feel so embarrassed?
Well, that's exactly how I felt. On a
Saturday morning last autumn, I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I
was on my way home, it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby
phone box since I didn't have an umbrella. It was raining so heavily that I
have to stay in the phone box until it stopped.
A few moments later, I saw a young man walk
up to the phone box, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn't want
to go out into the rain, so I picked up the phone and pretended I was talking
to someone. I thought the man would go away, but he didn't. He just waited in
the pouring rain, watching me wave my hands about and act as if I was deep in
conversation.
Luckily, it began to stop after about ten
minutes. "Okay,Mum,"
I said loudly into the phone," I'll see you later Bye!" I put the
phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box.
"I'm sorry, I took so long." I said to the man.
"Oh, I don't want to use the phone."
he replied, smiling. "I've just come to repair it. It's out of order, you
see." I felt myself go bright red in the face and I hurried away with my
head down,feeling a complete
fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!
