The School Festival's Surprise
文化祭のサプライズ
英語ストーリー
Our school festival was approaching, and everyone was buzzing with excitement. My class decided to put on a play, a comedic take on classic fairy tales. We spent weeks rehearsing, crafting costumes, and building sets. The anticipation was almost unbearable!
On the day of the festival, everything seemed to go wrong. Our star actor came down with a terrible cold, the sound system malfunctioned, and our meticulously crafted set collapsed during the first act. Panic threatened to overwhelm us, but we rallied together.
Despite the setbacks, we improvised, adjusted, and persevered. The audience, surprisingly, loved our chaotic performance. Their laughter and applause were the best reward. We learned that true success isn't about perfection, but about resilience and teamwork. It was a memorable, if slightly unconventional, festival.
