When I woke up that morning, I knew something was going to happen. The sky was very dark but it was already 7:00. The sun had run away!
“Mum and Dad, help! Help! Help!” I screamed loudQly.
But they didn’t answer. They were still sleeping. I was very afraid. They couldn’t help me and I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, I had an idea.
“I can go down to the street,” I said to myself calmly.
I thought there should be some people on the streets although it was very dark. I could ask them. But I was wrong. There was no one in the street. It was very quiet, just like a dead city. The streets were all dark because the lights were only turned on at night. At that moment, I heard some animal wailing. I thought it might be a fox. I felt very frightened so I ran back home quickly.
“What should I do?” I said in a low voice.
I wanted to call my friends to ask what was going on. When I was going to call my friends, I saw some strong light shining brightly and the sun started to come out. There was an eclipse. The sun was covered by the moon. The view was very beautiful. I watched that for a minute, and the whole sun came out.
“It is very wonderful,” I exclaimed. I was very happy and I could not control myself.
My parents woke up, because I yelled too loud. And they asked me what happened.
“You missed the chance,” I said proudly. “It’s amazing.”
Now, I always share this experience with others and I am waiting for the next eclipse.

When I woke up that morning, I knew something was going to happen. Suddenly I heard some loud bangs. (Every time I heard a loud bang, I had bad luck the whole day, like being punished by my parents.) That was my maid – she was so annoying.
“Wake up now! Wake up now! It’s already half past seven. It’s your first day of school. You must go to school before eight o’clock!” she yelled.
When I arrived at my school, I was a bit scared. “Stay calm! You will do a good job!” I consoled myself. The first thing I could do was to find the principal.
“You go to the toilets and clean them carefully! Go quickly!” She told me. I was so upset and down. “If you do not do it well, I’ll fire you!” She warned me.
While I was cleaning the toilets, I kept thinking, “Why must I do these jobs as well? Are these part of my training?” When the students saw me, they didn’t bow to me, and they even laughed at me. I was extremely angry.
At 5 p.m., I finished my work. I was so excited. While I was packing my things to leave the school, the principal called me. She dug in her pocket for 500 dollars, and gave it to me. At that moment, I was so amazed!
“Here’s your pay. We have employed a full-time janitor finally and so we don’t need you any more,” said the principal.
“But I’m a student teacher,” I explained. After all, something did happen.
The principal was embarrassed and apologized to me. From that time, I thought that being a janitor was very good – you could earn a lot of money. (By Jo Jo Lau)<\/p>\n
