Senior 2 School Trip!!!

(12.10. 2014)
On that day Antonio, Camila, Edward, Daisy and Ivan
woke up late for school.

If they had remembered that it was a class trip, they

would have arrived on time.

If they hadn’t been late, their classmates wouldn’t have

been annoyed at them.

If they had remembered they were visiting a farm, they

wouldn’t have worn their best clothes.

If they had known they were going horseback riding, they would have bought some
apples for horses.

If they hadn’t tried doing cowboy tricks on the horse, they wouldn’t have ended up face
in the mud.

Also, if they had stayed away from the cows as they were told, they wouldn’t have been
chased around by an angry cow.

But if they had behaved themselves all day, they wouldn’t have had so many funny
stories to tell their parents when they got home.
