One fine Monday morning, Jack woke up at six o’clock. When he looked at the calendar, he gasped,” Oh no! Valentine’s Day coming next week on Tuesday! What am I going to do? ” Then he thought it will better to discuss it with his friends. After looking at the calendar, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
