Please Rephrase

A student in my writing class wanted to write that he woke up from a terrible nightmare drenched in sweat.

This is what he wrote…

“When I woke up that morning, I got wet…”

Hehehe. It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen this month. I had to tell him why he had to rephrase his sentence. AWKWARD :p

No chance he was trying to plagiarize Augusto Monterroso's short story?
