We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. At the beginning, work is
proceeding well, but suddenly it starts to break down. It is a curious coincidence that a great many things choose to get out of control at precisely the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event produce a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that the
telephone rings when you are preparing a meal and looking after the baby at the same time. While you are answering the phone, the baby smashes half of your best crockery into pieces and suffers a wound. While you are busy attending to the baby and crockery, the meal gets burt. What a mess! Your husband returns home, unexpectedly bringing
three guests to dinner.
It is found that things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently
discovered in Paramatta, a suburb of Sydney. During the rush hour one evening a
crash occurred between two cars. Such car crash threw the woman immediately behind the two cars into a panic. Because she was a beginner, the woman had to stop her car. And the driver following her had to brake so hard that his wife sitting beside him was
thrown forward and the large cake she was holding were thrown onto the road as well. This flying cake made the lorry driver press the brake pedal hard and its cargo of empty beer bottles was thrown on to the road. As a result, another severe traffic congestion
was held up. It took the police nearly an hour to ease the traffic congestion. Meanwhile, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two stray dogs
benefited from all this confusion for they had a wonderful meal. It was just of those
days.
