Take it as it comes
When I was a kid, I dreaded school days because it meant facing a series of "bad luck" again. One day, my mother sent me to school, and as soon as I entered the classroom, I smelled a strange smell. It turned out to be a "surprise" from my classmate, Ming, who had given me a rotten and smelly egg during the holidays! The class laughed, and the teacher looked terrible from the stench. Ming was punished, and I couldn't avoid being dragged along with him.
