A
Day

Surprises
It
was
Monday
morning
,
and
Sarah
was
feeling
.
She
had
a
terrible
cold
but
couldn
?
t
afford
to
miss
work
.
"
I
?
ll
just
have
to
,
"
she
thought
as
she
got
out
of

.
On
her
way
to
work
,
she
realized
she
had
forgotten
her
umbrella
.
"
Great
,
just
my
luck
!
"
she
muttered
.
As
soon
as
she
stepped
outside
,
it
started
raining
.
"
Well
,
maybe
this
is
a
,
"
she
said
.
She
had
been
meaning
to
buy
a
new
coat
,
and
now
she
had
the
perfect
excuse
.
At
the
office
,
Sarah
?
s
boss
called
her
in
.
"
I
have
good
news

"
he
said
with
a
smile
.
"

a
great
job
,
so

?
re
promoting

"
Sarah
was
thrilled
.
She
had
worked
hard
for
months
,
to
meet
deadlines
.
This
promotion
was
a
dream
come
true
!
However
,
her
excitement
was
short
-
lived
.
As
soon
as
she
left
her
boss
?
s
office
,
her
coworker
,
Tom
,
approached
her
.
"
So
,
I
heard

promoted
,
"
he
said
.
"
Who
?
"
Sarah
asked
.
"
Oh
,

know
how
office
gossip
spreads
,
"
Tom
replied
with
a
grin
.
Later
that
day
,
Sarah
?
s
friend
Emma
invited
her
out
for
coffee
.
"
You

?
t
believe
what

today
!
"
Sarah
exclaimed
.
She
told
Emma
about
the
promotion
and
how
she
found
out
the
news
had
spread
.
"
Well
,
at
least
you
didn
?
t
have
to
of
yourself
,
"
Emma
joked
.
After
coffee
,
Sarah
had
to
pick
up
a
few
things
at
the
store
.
She
decided
to
by
buying
a
new
coat
while
shopping
for
groceries
.
Luckily
,
she
found
a
great
deal
.
"
This
day
keeps
getting
better
!
"
she
thought
.
That
evening
,
Sarah
?
s
team
took
her
out
to
celebrate
her
promotion
.
"
I
?
m
so
proud
of

"
her
best
friend
,
Jake
,
said
.
"
You
really
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
with
your
work
,
and
it
paid
off
.
"
As
the
night
ended
,
Sarah
reflected
on
her
day
.
It
had
started
rough
,
but
everything
had
turned
out
well
.
She
smiled
,
realizing
that
sometimes
,
life
?
s
surprises
are
just
a
piece
of
cake
to
