A VISIT TO A FRIEND
Last week I had to go to the hospital to see my friend because she had an important
operation. It was a warm day and it was raining heavily. I took my umbrella and went out.
Everybody in the street was in a hurry. Some of them were walking quickly with their
umbrellas and some of them were running because they were wet because of the rain. Some
people were waiting at the bus stop. All the cafés were full of people because they didn’t want
to get soaked outside.
While I was walking I met a friend and she invited me for a cup of coffee at the
nearest café. Just as I was opening the door, I lost my control and slipped and at the end I fell
down into a hole that was full of dirty water. I was ashamed but it was very funny. While my
friend was trying to help me, the people at the café were laughing at me. At that moment I
thought I broke my leg because I had a terrible pain. Then my friend called an ambulance.
While I was waiting for the ambulance, the owner of the café gave me a cup of hot coffee.
While I was drinking my coffee, the ambulance arrived and took me to hospital.
When the doctor examined my leg, he said that he needed an X- ray. After the X-ray, he
explained that I sprained my ankle and I couldn’t walk for a while, so I had to use sticks to
walk.
While I was at the hospital, I went to my friend’s room, too. But I was limping like a
goat so she was very surprised and while I was telling my story to her, she was laughing
happily. Then I called a taxi and went home.
Now I feel better and I want to go to the hospital to visit my friend again because she
will stay there for a while. But today everything will be different because it is sunny and I will
be more careful not to have another accident.
