VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [S]

Foot story

when i was 12 years old i was still naughty. the incident happened on Friday. as usual I and my friends were run to the public square after school and there were many shops and street markets and people always liked to play in the public square and we saw a pole made by iron and we also found a stone in front of it then we decided to stand on the stone and jump up to hang ourselves on the pole. we didn’t think it was dangerous at that time because it was night and it was a little dark around us so a boy did it before me and when he jumped down he reminded me that there was a hook on the pole so he let me be careful and then i just nodded and jumped up quickly, when i jumped down i felt a little strange because i felt my left hand was wet and i thought i touched some water. i was hurt by the hook. all of us are little children so we were all shocked and didn’t know what to do at that time. fortunately a father of my classmate was there. he was selling something. then he saw the incident and quickly took me to the hospital and he had not left until my parents found us. so after a series of check I had a surgery for about 1 hour to operate to repair my hand.
