It was May. The lady was getting married, but her husband was not in the place.

He was
looking for her everywhere but he couldn't find her. She called the police and the police went
in search of her. The people of the town also went in search of her husband, but she did not
appear, so the lady was so sad that she decided to go to the quietest place in the city, the lake,
by boat, where she could forget what had happened.

When the lady was on the boat the police found her husband dead in her house. The police
searched for the lady and told her the news. The woman was devastated when she was told
that her "husband" was dead.

When the woman had to leave the lake, she became very aggressive; she started hitting police
officers, and she had to be stopped by police.

Definitely, it hadn’t been a good day.

It's a beautiful summer day on the lake in front of my grandparent’s house. The
house is very big and old. Right in front there is a lake, where there is a very old
wooden boat. My grandmother had explained many stories about the old lake
and the wooden boat.
My grandmother sitting by my side in front of the lake asks me a question.
Before I could say anything:
- Do you want me to tell you one of my stories?
Obviously, I replied yes!! The story was about a woman that had a lot of money.
She was a very bad person and she was treating the whole world very badly.
One night she walked next to the lake, she disappeared. The townspeople saw
her going away with the wooden boat. After, my grandmother told me to go to
sleep. At night I had nightmares although I knew the stories were not real. My
grandmother has a good imagination. Definitely, it hadn’t been a good day.

The Lady of Shalott

Once upon a time, a beautiful young woman called Mary Shalott. Legend has it
that she had everything anyone would want: wealth, beauty, good health…
except for the only thing she wanted. Someone who loved her. She had been
feeling so lonely her entire life, until one day she met Harry. He was a very
polite nobleman, and they began to meet each other more often.
Harry had been persuading her to go there because he wanted to see the
crocodiles. Due to his insistence, Mary finally said yes. One of those days, they
decided to go to the lake. They swam for hours until it got dark. As soon as the
sunset, the lake turned more and more frightening. When Mary was going to
shore, Harry saw something moving in the lake. At first, he thought it was only a
toad, but when they saw those scary eyes staring at them, they knew it was a
crocodile. Mary ran away out of the water, but Harry could not. The crocodile
ate him, and Mary burst into tears. They had been swimming for so long that
Mary had not realized she was now on the other side of the river. She had to
move on although Harry had just died, and she needed a boat. If she couldn’t
find any boat, she knew the crocodile would eat her sooner or later. Luckily, a
little old rowboat was near her, and she sighed in relief.
She started rowing with all her strength, and the crocodile seemed to give up on
her. Mary was terrified and thought “I wish we had never come here”.
Unfortunately, the crocodile returned and pushed the little boat. Mary panicked
and unintentionally dropped the oars. Now, the crocodile was waiting to eat her,
and Mary could not escape anymore. It was at that moment that she thought
“Definitely, it hadn’t been a good day”.

THE CURSE

Once upon a time there was a red haired girl who lived in a castle. Every day he went
out for a walk and when he had nothing to do he would go with his boat to go around
the beautiful lake in front of his castle.

One morning, the girl said she wanted to go for a walk around the lake. The girl saw a
kind of blue light shining beneath the water and decided to zoom in so that she could
see more closely. The girl said it was a gem but she wasn't sure, so she took off her
clothes and threw herself into the water. As he threw himself into the water, he saw
that the thing shone more and more, and then the girl sank and grabbed it. The moment
she touched him she felt as if her body were changing. The girl got out of the water with
what she had found and headed for the castle.

When he arrived at the castle he went to teach him what he had found his father and
when his father saw him he said, leave this on the floor, it is very dangerous and he said
that a few years ago a girl touched him and she was cursed by a demon and they had to
lock her in a dungeon but after a few days she died.
The frightened girl told her father that she did not want to die. Her father decided to
lock her in the jail, which was located at the top of the tower in case something strange
happened.

The next day her father went to see her and found her lying on the floor. The girl had no
strength and had difficulty breathing, so the crying father said he could do nothing more.
His father was very sad and said that if his daughter died, he too. The father touched the
object and was also cursed and all died together.

The people of the town did not find out until after a few days, as people were saying
that no one had seen them leave the house. It was definitely not a good day for them.

That day was going to be the best day of my life. Right then I was getting ready to go to an
excursion with the school. However, it was not a normal boring trip. We were visiting the Tate
museum in London. I had always dreamed of going there and admire all the incredible
pictures, but was very expensive and my mum told me that if I wanted to go, I had to pay. But I
couldn’t afford it. So when my best friend told me that the next trip was going to the Tate I
could not believe. There is a special picture that I wanted to see it is called Lady of Shalott. I
really love that picture, but actually I do not know what it is so captivating that I can’t stop
admiring that picture.

Finally after 2 hours in that bus we arrived there. I had never been so excited before. While all
the class was speaking during the visit, I was admiring all the pictures. But Suddenly I saw
something incredible. The Lady of Shalott. I walked very close to admire but unfortunately
someone pushed me and I fell into the picture. I could not believe that I had broken one of the
most important pictures in the museum. Straight away security came and phoned my mum.
She came and they told us that we had to pay £300,000 for the picture. My mum paid and I
punished me without going out with my friends for 2 years. And also I had to work to try and
return all the money to my mum. Definitely, it hadn’t been a good day.

I must write about a picture my teacher has shown me. It does not inspire
me any feelings, but I have to write about something related to the
picture, so I will try to write something.
Just now, I am sitting inside my room tapping some words, sitting in a very
comfortable chair listening to a song called lonely day, alone in my room. I
cannot go outside my house just now because everyone is terrified with
the idea of catching an illness. I have been closed in my home for some
days, so…
I am starting to feel like I am on my boat alone without any possibilities of
escaping from there, having to stay there due to special circumstances; my
environment is nice, but lonely. I am not in a forest surrounded by water
and staying on a boat, but the outside is like that forest, tempting but
unreachable. Definitely, it had not been a good day, but a lonely day.

It was a cold and dark Friday of December. I woke up early because I had to go to school. It was
the last day before the Christmas break. I had had a really bad dream the night before, and I
couldn’t stop thinking about it. That dream was about a painting that gave me a very bad
feeling.

At a quarter to eight, I left home, as usually. I was wearing white new jeans and a black
sweater. It had been raining all night long, so there were many puddles everywhere. Just when
I was in front of the school’s gate, I saw one of my friends, so I waved to her. Instantly I slipped
and I fell into a puddle. I was feeling ashamed of myself because everyone of the school was
laughing at me.

I asked the math’s teacher to go to the bathroom because I was completely soaked. She didn’t
allow me to go because we were having a test. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten that we were
having a test. Hopefully after finishing that mess, it was break time.

There was still an hour left of class, and then our teacher would give us the final marks. During
history, I was feeling so tired that I fell asleep. By the way, the class was extremely boring.
After a few minutes, the teacher shouted at me and sent me out of the classroom. I have to
say that I expected that to come. I stayed outside for twenty minutes at least, until one of my
classmates asked me to come back. It was the time to give out the final results. The teacher
called everybody by alphabetical order. I was the last one, so I was feeling very anxious.

When I heard my name, I ran to the teachers table. He looked disappointed. I knew that he
wasn’t going to tell me good news. I had failed art. The art’s teacher told me that to pass the
subject, I had to imitate a famous painting called Lady of Shalott. When I saw the painting I
was completely petrified. It was the painting of my bad dream.

Definitely, it hadn’t been a good day.
