One Saturday morning, I go to town to do some shopping. I am walking on the street, and it begins to rain. I run into a nearby phone box because I don’t have an umbrella. It is raining heavily, so I decide to stay in the phone box until it stops.
Then I see a young man walk up to the phone box. I don’t want to go out into the rain, so I pick up the phone. I pretend(假装) I’m talking to someone. But the man doesn’t go away.
The rain stops ten minutes later. I put the phone down and go out of the phone box. "I’m sorry I take so long," I say to the man. "I don't use the phone," he says, "I just come to repair(修理) it." That is the most embarrassing moment(时刻) of my life! I think I’m a fool.
