The Classroom Window

On Wednesday evening, I was studying in a classroom at school.
The window was open.
A strong wind blew in, and the pages of my notebook flew out the window.
I closed the window right away, and then went outside to get the pages.
Outside, my friend Tanaka was holding a page.
Tanaka gave me the page. I said “Thank you,” and I felt very relieved.
