Sally had a bad day. This morning, when she got out of bed, she broke her watch. When she went to brush her teeth, she dropped her toothbrush.

At breakfast, Sally dropped her breakfast plate on the floor. One of her pancakes even flew up to the ceiling（天花板）and didn’t fall back down!

After breakfast, she missed the school bus. By the time she went outside, the school bus had left. So she had to take a taxi.

When Sally arrived at school, she found she had forgotten to bring her math homework. And in the P.E. class, she fell over and hurt her knee badly.

“I’m having a bad day,” Sally cried, throwing herself on her bed after she came home.

“What’s the matter, Sally?” her mom asked. “You’ve only been home from school for five minutes.”

Sally couldn’t stop crying long enough to tell her mom.

“I know what will make you happy. Come with me,” her mom said. They walked down the street to the park. Mom pushed Sally on the swings（秋千）.

“Whee! It’s fun,” Sally laughed.

“This is for you,” her mom said, handing Sally a pretty flower. “Do you feel better now?” “Yes, Mom,” Sally smiled. She put her hand into her mom’s and they went home happily.
