　　Have you ever done something foolish that made you feel so embarrassed（尴尬的）?

Well, that's exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home，it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box since I didn't have an umbrella．It was raining so heavily that I have to stay in the phone box until it stopped．

A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn't want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didn't. He just waited in the rain，watching me wave my hands about and act as if I was deep in conversation.

Luckily，it began to stop after about ten minutes．"Okay，Mum，" I said loudly into the phone，"I'll see you later .Bye!" I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box "I'm sorry I took so long,"I said to the man．

"Oh, I don't want to use the phone,"he replied，smiling．"I've just come to repair it. It's out of order, you see." I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!
