My friend Domenic (thanks) has corrected my previous story “Get “. Here his edition:
I’m afraid of get. For me it’s like a terrible monster with innumerable heads. Today I want to face it. I’m trembling just thinking about it, and I will be brave. Here is a story to stick this verb to my mind so I can get past all my fear about it forever. I think this story is barely understandable… Blame the one who encourages me to learn English!
Mr. X got up out of bed early that morning and prepared his breakfast as usual.
He wanted to take a hot shower but he could not because the drain was clogged.
Mr. X got angry because when he called the plumber, the plumber was not there and he needed to find a fast way to get his shower repaired, otherwise he would be late for work!
Fortunately, he got along with his neighbor who was a former plumber. So he called him and asked if he had time right now to come fix his shower. His neighbor agreed and came right away and got it working.
So Mr. X showered, got dressed and left for work.
He arrived at work at Ten AM which was very late, so he immediately got busy with his work.
His boss noticed that he had arrived late and became very angry saying to him “You are not getting very much work done when you are late and you had better get all this work done! Got it?”
Mr. X became angry and stood up. As he stood, he tried to get around his boss and said, “I do not get along with you so I have decided to move on.”
The Boss didn’t get what Mr. X was saying and said to him “what do you mean?” “If you don’t get over this right now, I will fire you.”
That day, Mr. X got fired. Realizing what had happened, he became depressed. He knew that he had to make new plans and get on with his life.
After several months went by, he decided to get a new job. He also found a beautiful woman and got married.
Every day now, he wakes up and take a nice hot shower.
