An Unlucky Day

Last week, my brother, cousin and I each met with a mishap.

It started right in the morning when my brother had a fall when he went to my uncle’s shop. A motorcycle, weighing 150kg almost fell on him when he tried to climb on it! Luckily, my auntie managed to stop the vehicle from toppling down. My brother escaped with only a small cut on his foot.

In the evening, my cousin who was at her sister house plunged into a drain when the cover suddenly gave way. My cousin squatted on the ground for a while as the pain was so acute. As the house was just a few houses away from ours, I tried to rush to her place to find out what happened. Just as I leaped out of our gate, I fell flat on my nose. I injured my lip, legs and upper arm. When I got up, I realized that my front tooth had chipped. My lip started to bleed. It was so painful that I started to weep. I was also worried that the root of my tooth had been disrupted.

My family took out our First Aid kit so that they could sponge the wounded areas for us. It was an extremely unlucky day for all of us!
