Original 

On Tuesday, I was riding my scooter but I went too fast. I flew off, went up, and hit the ground. At first, I didn’t feel anything. I closed my eyes and my mother and my aunt ran to see me. “Are you OK?!” they screamed. “I want to sit on the sidewalk…” I said. I told them “it really hurts on my elbow, on my stomach, and on my hand!” My mother hugged me and took me home and my aunt brought the scooter. At home, my mother called my sister to buy hydrogen peroxide to clean my cut. When she put it on me, it hurt very much and I started to cry. And then my mother gave me the phone to make a douyin video but I kept crying.

When I was young/little, I was in the car,  and I burned my finger with a lighter. It looked black! I started crying and my sister put water on my finger. But mom thought I peed in the car so she was laughing at me.
