An Embarrassing Incident
One day last summer I was walking through the local park. It was a hot
day and I was eating an ice cream. As I was walking past the boating lake, I
saw my friends, Carol and Jim. They were taking their dog for a walk. When we
met, we stopped for a chat. While we were talking, the dog suddenly jumped
up and tried to get my ice cream. I pulled my hand away and unfortunately the
ice-cream came out of the cone. Now there was a bald man behind me. The
poor man wasn’t doing any harm. He was just sitting on a bench and reading a
newspaper. Well, when I pulled my hand away, the ice cream flew through the
air and it landed on the man’s head. I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
When I looked at my friends, they weren’t just laughing, they were in hysterics.
