Question

Hi, I’m Mike. I run a clothes store. 1. Don’t you think so? Last Tuesday night I stayed up late. The next morning my alarm clock didn’t ring. 2. When I got up, it was about nine o’clock. There was nobody at home except me. My family had gone to work. 3. By the time I rode my motorbike, I found the gas had run out. 4. He gave me a lift in his car. At about ten o’clock, I got to my clothes store. At that time, I found many people had crowded around Mrs. Cooper's clothes store, which is not far from mine. Then I saw the black smoke rising from the burning clothes store and lots of firemen putting out the fire. 5. I was shocked and sad. Although I felt very lucky to be alive, if I hadn’t gotten late, perhaps I could have saved Mrs. Cooper.
