The day I can never forget
Days are different. Some bring good luck and others 1.herald bad luck. One day in my
life 2.rises above the rest. It was a day of good luck for our family. Evening had
3.descended and we had not eaten any thing that day. My father, the only earning
member of the family, had been 4.confined to bed for the last two months. My mother
had sold out everything to save my father. I started cursing God and my mother
started crying. My father looked weak and 5.desperate. At that 6.critical moment
someone knocked at the door. As I opened it, a man smiled and said
“Congratulations”. He pushed me 7.aside and went in. He 8.approached my parents and
said, “Congratulations! Your son has won the lottery prize!” It was then I 9.realized that
I had bought a lottery ticket the previous week only. The period of two months of hard

of God! A moment of that day changed the whole course of my life. Who can forget
such a day?
