    Why was the writer's aunt surprised?
    It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. ‘What a day!’ I thought. ‘It's raining again. ’ Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. ‘I've just arrived by train, ’ she said. ‘I'm coming to see you. ’
    ‘But I'm still having breakfast, ’ I said.
    ‘What are you doing?’ she asked.
    ‘I'm having breakfast, ’ I repeated.
    ‘Dear me, ’ she said. ‘Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!’
