When I got to Carla`s house her mum told me Carla was in her room watching her television, and I went in. Without thinking I put my umbrella on the bed, and Carla got very upset, since she is very superstitious. I tried to comfort her, but she said that my umbrella would bring her bad luck, and that she wanted me to leave. Knowing that Carla sometimes can be a little strange and moody, I said 'OK, see you tomorrow', and left.  

When I got outside, I remembered that I had left my umbrella in Carla's room, and I pressed the doorbell again. Her mother opened the door, and I went in to get my umbrella. I knocked on Carla's door, and Carla said 'Come in'. I told her that I'd only come to get my umbrella, and Carla nodded. But my umbrella was not on the table where I'd left it! We both looked everywhere in the room - under the bed/table, behind the bed/closet/desk..., on the desk and under the desk - the umbrella was missing! Carla asked me if I was sure that I didn't take the umbrella when I left the first time, and I told her I was absolutely sure the umbrella was on the bed when I left!  

Well, dear diary, I had to go home without my umbrella, and on the way home it started raining, of course. I got soaking wet, and when I got home my mum yelled at me because my shoes made wet spots on her newly cleaned floor/carpet. What a day! And my umbrella is still missing.
