“Morning, dear Mickey!”

Half opened my eyes, I said it to myself, and dressed myself at the same time. Then I went to brush my teeth, wash my face and comb my hairs casually. [because it is Saturday and no school] Having all these trivial things done, I felt quite hungry, so I came into the kitchen to cook my lovely breakfast.

Oh~ After a sleep, I still felt so tired. Without any thinking, I put some rice to the electric cooker, a cup of milk into the microwave, and plugged in the electric kettle skillfully. Then I began to fry some eggs on the pan. Hmmm, somehow my eyelids were heavier than ever? I fell in a deep thought of this question when suddenly a voice of “Ding——“ came into my sleepy ears, but I didn’t recognize what had happened. You know, troubles never come singly. Soon the kettle lifted up its voice and screamed loud. However, Not until the eggs let out their grieved crying did I realize tired Mickey had got into hot water.

In a hurry-scurry, I plugged out the kettle and took out the hot milk as soon as I could. Ouch! The angry hot milk scalded my poor fingers. Anyway at such a dangerous moment, I didn’t got any time to think of the pain but turned myself around another war to save the eggs quickly. Oops! When I arrived at the battlefield, all the poor eggs had already got burnt severely, with their yellow skin becoming black!

What a mess! All of a sudden, my eyes opened widely, on seeing such a defeated battlefield, I felt so frustrated! But from the loss, I came to get a profound lesson: first, sleep when it is time for sleeping; second, do one thing well at a time; third, when things happened, be calm!

What do you learn from Mickey’s adventure in the kitchen?
