An Exciting Childhood Memory
When I was little, I was very naughty. I liked to play a joke on neighbor’s child
and dogs, so we were always penalized by our parents. My parents were very strict.
When they were at home, I could not watch TV, played computer games, even
listened to the music, so could my brother. What a boring life it was! Finally, I got a
chance to go outside. It was a family day.
That day morning, I woke up at 7 O’clock with my brother. When we finished
our breakfast, we helped mom prepare the food and something we would need in this
family day. We were having a picnic and we were excited. When we arrived at our
destination, the sky was blue and the air was fresh. The scene was very beautiful. It
was a suitable place for having a picnic. “Mom, can I go to that river to wash my
hands?” I pointed that way of the river and said. “Be careful.” Mom replied. When I
was washing my hands, there was a stray dog staring at me. When it stared at me, I
had a little afraid, but I did not run away. I was staring at it, too. I thought that dog
was not afraid of me, so I threw a stone at it. After throwing the stone, it rushed to me.
I ran at once and as fast as I could. I was almost bitten by that dog. Lucky, I ran away
and came back save and sound. I did not say anything to my family. We enjoy our
lunch and had sweet time for this family day.
After this event about me and that stupid dog experience. I swore that I would
not play a joke on dogs, because I did not want to be bitten next time and I decide to
keep the exciting memory to my secret forever.
