Unfortunately, I fell on the way and lost some time. To my complete 40 , when I reached the platform, I saw that the train had just left! It was the last train so I had to 41 home.
My mother was glad to see me back as she had a feeling about my trip. But I was unhappy. I tried to relax and went to bed but I had a 42 sleep. The next morning I was very tired.
