Being on Time

Charlie is 16 years old. He is a high school student. He is neat and tidy. He always likes to do things at the same time every day. He always wakes up at seven o’clock, has his breakfast at seven thirty, leaves his home at eight o’clock and after school he comes home at four o’clock. Finally, he goes to bed at ten. But two days ago he woke up at seven fifteen, had his breakfast at seven forty-five, left his home at eight fifteen and finally he went to bed at ten fifteen. The next day he woke up at seven as usual. He said “Yes, I woke up on time!” Suddenly, his little sister came into the kitchen and said “Yesterday, you also did everything on time! But I wanted to trick you so I put your clock fifteen minutes forward.” Charlie was angry and started to explain why: “When I was in primary school, I was always late to school. I always forgot to do my homework because I was outside playing with my friends. I went to bed late, and woke up late. One day, in fourth grade, I decided to do everything on time. I started to plan my day.”
