worst day of my life
Suddenly, I felt the tremor.
I felt that I was shaken. I looked at my friend, Melissa and I know she felt it
too. I looked out of the window and saw a crowd on the road. They look excited.
But why? My friend and I joined the crowd to see what the matter was. We
squeezed in between the huge crowd. Finally, I saw many huge and long thing
which looks like a trunk. It appeared to be many elephants here. Big and small.
Some of them were old and have long tusk; the baby elephants walked along by
their mothers. I overheard someone said,” the circus is here! The circus is
here”. Then, we saw the circus clown and circus man and other interesting thing
coming. This is so exciting! I have never been to a circus. I ran to meet the
circus clown. He was juggling with three colorful balls. He gave me a smile and
asked for my name. I walked away because my mother told me not to talk to
strangers. Melissa decided to find more information about the circus. Melissa
pulled my school dress and I followed her to find more information from the
circus man. The circus man told us that the circus will be opened tomorrow at
2:00 in the evening. Great! Now, we need money to buy tickets.
We decided to
ask our mother for ticket money. “How much is the ticket price, Melissa” I
asked Melissa? ” Emm……I don’t know too” Melissa told me. Maybe we should go
back to the circus man. “OK, maybe we should” I told Melissa. Melissa said,”
you go; I am not going to talk to that weird man”. I remember the circus man.
He has a long white beard, a rather baggy shirt, black hair, and a funny
looking hat which looked like a joker or beggar. He has a strange looking
smile. Somehow, we got no choice. “Excuse me, sir. How much is the ticket price
for 11 years old?” we asked together. The circus man said,” how much do you
have?” I said with a gulp “ I don’t have any, how about you, Melissa ?” Melissa
said “ I don’t have even a single cent!”"
