It was a hot summer day with the sun hanging over the skyline and the sky as clear as water,i was about 8 years old at this time,me and my brother are on the way to go to the ice cream truck to pick up a cone ice cream when we spot a fox lurking around our backyard,my little brother says “That's the biggest fox i have ever seen”, i reply with “i think you may be right”.Before we turned around and left the fox came charging full force for us.We ran like we’ve never ran before but it bit me in the leg before i could get away.
My brother was laughing and hollering while i was crunched over in pain leaking blood from my leg,we walked to the ER because the hospital was only a few minutes away,the doctor scanned my leg and checked my blood and said i was all clear to go.That day the ice cream truck came back around twice so we still got to get the icecream and i remember telling all my friends about the chase and everyone loving the story.
Abshir,
ReplyDeleteReally enjoy reading your story. Sorry but I found myself laughing a bit. Could never imagine getting bitten by a fox. My question for you, was you or your brother holding the ice cram cone? Because in my mind I can see you bleeding in pain as your brother eats his ice cream without a care in the world.
Regardless thanks for sharing, like I said I enjoyed your writting.
I could not imagine being in this predicament, I feel like I would freeze for a while, before I even run from the fox. I liked your story.

ReplyDeleteWriting these snapshots and reading these books really does take you back to your childhood. It make you consider how your days were spent. Hot summer days with family and friends are always the happiest memories.
