I was walking with my sister Neema.We curiously adventured the forest.I stoped and admired a tree.

My sister told me not to climb it.But I climbed it anyway.I carefully climbed the tree.
It was very easy to me to climb.

Suddenly I got stuck I was so scared.I looked down and I didn't like the height I was in.I could've just listen to my big sister.
My sister tried to catch me but I was scared.

Dad came and told me to calm down but I was scaredI wanted to jump,but dad wasn't sure about that.I carefully jumped down to dad.

I was safe but I had an injured leg.It was when I jumped down and my leg went through a big stick it was painful. I was taken to clinic for the doctor to treat me.

When I got home I cried to my mother.I told her the whole story what happened.My mother told me next time I need to first check how tall the tree was before climb .
