Yesterday morning I was late for our school assembly, so I ran as fast as I could to my class line. When I reached there, everyone was already praying the morning prayer. I quickly kept my bag – not even on my own bench – and rushed to stand in my place. I ended up standing right behind my best friend, Punshiba.

After the prayer ended, Punshiba turned around and told me happily that he had brought his hand gloves today. Then we all sang our school song. During the assembly, some students gave the thought of the day, the news, and a short speech.

Then my friend Worthemso came to me and whispered that he didn’t bring his lunch box. Instead, he brought money. I asked him, “How much?” and he said 100 rupees! That is quite a lot for our canteen, and I was so surprised.

After that, it was our headmistress’s turn. She gave a short speech about our behavior and gave us some reminders. Then someone led the school oath, and finally, the assembly was over.

It was a busy start to the day, but it turned out fun!
