A lucky escape


The day started badly. I woke up late because I forgot about the alarm clock the night before. I got dressed in five minutes, and called a taxi to go to the airport. Thirty minutes later the taxi had still not arrived. I called the taxi company and they explained that the taxi had broken down. So I decided 1 to take my own car to heal 2 through, picked my bag and left the house. But when I got in the car, the engine wouldn't start. I realized that I left the headlines on last night. I decided to try the taxi company again. But when I put my hand in my pocket, my telephone wasn't there. I had lefted it in the kitchen. So I went back inside to get it. I opened the door, and could hear the radio, which I forgot to switch 3 off.


"This is the BBC 4 news at eight o'clock on Sunday the seventh of April." I heard.


"Eight o'clock?" I thought. "But it's only seven o'clock!"


And I looked at my watch to check. Suddenly I remembered,it was eight o'clock! The clock had changed that weekend!


There was no point going to the airport now. The plane had already taken off! But as I sat there listening to the news, I realized how lucky I had been! A plane had crashed just after taken off his road and I was feared at two hundred and seventeen people abroad are died.
