Falling from a Mango Tree

When I was kid, I felt out from my friend’s

mango tree. At that time, my friends and

I wanted to eat mango in front of my friend’s

house. The tree was very high. We could not

climb it because we were little.

Because no one dared to climb the tree, I

braced myself to climb it. I knew that I could

not climb the tall tree. However, I wanted to

show them that I was great. Then I climbed the

tree. Having reached the top, I started looking

for fruit which I would take. I saw my friends

from the bottom praised me. “Great, you are

awesome!” said one of my friends. “Fetch the

fruit!” begged my friend. Then I tried to reach the

fruit. However, when I was about to pick it up,

the trunk where I stood was broken. I felt from

the tree. My body crushed the ground. I cried in

pain. I see blood was coming out of my head. At that moment, I was ushered by my

friend to my home. They told my mother that

I fell out of a mango tree. Then my mother

treated my wounds. Until now the wound

is still seen in my arm. Every time I see it,

I remember my childhood that careless and love

to be praised.
