I took my two brothers, Jimmy and Kenny, to the Kite Flying Festival at the park. When we arrived at the park, the birds were twitting, a soothing sunset breeze was blowing and the leaves were rustling against each other in the breeze.
Jimmy and Kenny flew their kites while I took out my book to read under a tree on a bench. I was enjoying my book against the beautiful backdrop of the park when the sound "Snap!" sent me jumping off the bench.
I turned around and only saw the disappointed faces of my brothers' looking up to the tree. I looked up to the tree and saw both of their kites stuck at the top of the tree.
"How did both of your kites end up there?"I asked.
"We were flying our kites when the wind became stronger and our strings tangled, causing the kites to fall down," explained Jimmy, choking on his own tears.
Jimmy and Kenny tried to retrieve the kites by jumping up and down to reach them. They tried to climb up the tree in a futile attempt.
"Tammy!" I heard a familiar voice calling out my name. I spun my head around and saw Joshua, my best friend.
"Hello!"I greeted back, feeling troubled.
Joshua dragged his bicycle to the bench and asked what the matter was. Indeed, my best friend he was. He could see through me. I pointed up to the tree.
"Let me retrieve it for you," offered Joshua, smiling. With that, he started climbing up the tree.
"No, climbing this tree isn't as easy as it looks. I doubt you can retrieve it," I told Joshua.
Joshua really surprised me. With a leap, he ascended the tree, his hands reached out to the branch where the kites were snagged. He gave a swift swing on his feet to throw himself higher. Like an agile primate, he stretched out his hand to give the branch a good jerk. One kite obediently came down.
"Yeah!"cheered Jimmy, running around Kenny.
"What about mine?" asked Kenny, teardrops rolling down his cheeks.
"I'll try again."replied Joshua.
"It is too far away, I can't reach it but I will try," said Joshua, gritting his teeth.
He did it again. Kenny's kite fell to the ground, unscathed!
"Yippy!"cheered Kenny, dancing around with Jimmy.
"Thank You,"I said to Joshua, full of admiration and gratitude.
From that day, I looked up to Joshua even more. He was almost my hero.
