Yesterday was my friend Sally's birthday. She had invited me to her birthday party. And another friend, Eric had offered (take) me to the party by car.

    When I was getting dressed, Eric rang and said he was ill and couldn't go to Sally s party. I decided to go there alone by . Unluckily, while I was talking the phone, my cat walked over my clean shirt, I had to spend a few minutes (find) another one.

    As I was walking to the train station, it started to snow and I felt very cold. I just missed a train so I had to wait for another one. When the train (final) arrived I was frozen! I was so cold and tired that I fell (sleep) on the train and missed my station.

    I got off at the next stop and decided to walk back to Sally's house. I walked for half hour and then I realized I was (lose). (luck), I found a public phone and telephoned for a taxi. When I finally arrived at Sally's house, it was nearly midnight and people were going home. What a terrible day!
