2bii. The Black Cat’s fault

It was big day for Dev. The HR department was interviewing the employees to decide their promotions. He woke up a bit tired because his anxiety and excitement ensured that he got little to no sleep. He anxiously got ready and was hurrying out of the door when his mother came and stopped him. He got irritated but his mother just wanted to give him the good luck charm i.e., some curd and sugar. This lifted his mood and made him feel quite better.

But on the way, a black cat came in front of his car and crossed his way. Since it was the rush hour and a busy road, he couldn’t take a U-turn. Again, his anxiety was back and he felt doomed.

Dev’s mother wants to know what happened during the day but Dev is recounting the day in a haphazard manner. Can you help his mother understand everything by putting the list in the right order? Here is the list of the events:

Do you think the day would have turned out to be different if the black cat didn’t cross Dev’s way? Or what do you think would have happened if the black cat did cross Dev’s way but Dev didn’t see it crossing?

¿Did you know?  English monarch Charles I thought that his black cat was a source of luck for him. When his black cat died, he lamented that his good fortune would end. And the next day, he was arrested and charged with high treason.
