#日记

After reading the story, I noticed that the hero of the novel had a problem with his History paper.

He thought that it would snow the next day in which case he didn't had to go to school. So he didn't prepare the paper that should be handed in class.

In real life, we always get the bad habit of procrastinating. This story told us that never put off until tomorrow what you can finish today.
