A Week without a Phone

Amir dropped his phone on Monday morning. The screen went black. The repair shop said it would take a week to fix it.

At first, everything felt difficult. He could not check the bus times or listen to music on his way to work. He wrote important numbers in a little notebook and borrowed an old alarm clock.

On Wednesday, he wanted to visit a new cafe. Usually, his phone showed him the way. This time, he asked a woman outside the station. She explained the route and told him which cake to try.

On Friday, Amir saw an old friend on the bus. They talked for twenty minutes. Usually, Amir looked at his phone during that journey.

When he got his phone back, he was pleased. But he kept the notebook in his bag. And on the bus, he sometimes left the phone there too.
