Passive Voice Story

    Yesterday I was punished by my parents for non-obedience. I was given a big task as a punishment. I was told to wash all the dirty plates. I have never washed plates before, so after four or five plates were broken by me my furious parents gave me a new task instead of this one. So I was given the last chance: our apartments were to be cleaned by me. I filled a bucket with water and started to wash the floor.  Everything was fine until I stumbled against the bucket and fell down. The bucket was overturned by me. The floor was covered with dirty water. My clothes were wet with water. So this task was also failed by me. I was told that I was good for nothing. My parents were very disappointed by me.
