It was already 2:50 when I got up this afternoon. Classes would begin in ten minutes, so I quickly ran out of my house and got on my bike.

On my way to school, I rode very fast. Luckily, every time I got to a crossing, the traffic lights were green. I soon reached the last crossing. This time, the lights were red, but I didn‘t stop my bike. To my surprise, a policeman appeared and stopped me. “Why didn‘t you stop when the traffic lights were red?” he asked.

“Classes will begin in no time,” I answered.Hearing this, he criticized me for not having obeyed the traffic rules. I drooped my head and said, “I‘m sorry.” I was afraid that he wouldn‘t let me go. I was about to cry when he told me to obey the traffic rules next time and let me go. I thanked him and rode away.

Though I was late for school this afternoon, I had learned something: one must obey the rules at any time.
