It was seven in the morning. Sam got up and finished his breakfast quickly. He put on his school uniform, took his schoolbag and ran to the bus stop. Usually he waited for the school bus there. He waited for half an hour but the bus didn't come. He started to get worried. He didn't want to be late for school.
Just then, Sam's classmate Eric came with a basketball on his bike. Sam was surprised to find that Eric was not in his school uniform.
Eric stopped in front of Sam and asked,"Where are you going?"
"To school,"Sam answered.
"Don't you know today is a school holiday?"Eric laughed (大笑).
Sam laughed, too. He didn't need to go to school today. Happily, he went to play basketball with Eric in the park next to the bus stop.
