It was a Monday morning. Susan woke up with the aid of an alarm clock that has a vibrating pad under her pillow. As everyday, she went to brush her teeth, did a little exercise and went to have her breakfast. While having her breakfast, she thought "What if Mondays would not have been there...." Susan never liked Mondays because it was the first working day after the previous weekend. She unwillingly went to her room to get ready for school.
Suddenly she saw, the weather was raining heavily. She thought to go to school to enjoy the weather. One of her friend said that the road will be slippery when it rained heavily and it was very dangerous. Susan was speechless.
The bus driver picked up the phone and his phone accidentally fell off. Then the driver looked for his phone that fell under his feet. Susan was surprised and she again woke up and found herself in her bed. She hit her left toe to be sure, if that was not a dream again. But, it was reality. She looked outside her window. She was surprised to see a dream in her dream.
