Untitled by Alton

Beads of prespiration flowed down my cheeks time and again. I was at Punggol Park trying to fly a kite.

“Whshh…” there was some wind, finally. It had been hot and totally windless for a few hours and my kite simply refused to take flight. A gust of wind carried it to the air. I watched my kite fly majestically in the sky.

“Wow, the trees are so tall and so many kites are flying peacefully in the sky…”

My thoughts were dashed as my kite began swaying here and there. Soon the wind became so strong that my butterfly could not withstand the wind. It flew to a nearby tree. It landed and got stuck on the thick branches of a tree.

I looked for someone tall enough to reach the kite, but even the tallest man I found could barely touch the lowest branch on the tree trunk. I decided to pull the string which was dangling from the tree but that was the worst decision I ever made. When I pulled it, the whole thing snapped.

Out of the blue, another kite swooped straight into a tree. Soon the owner arrived. We were in the same boat. I told the owner that the only way to get the kite was to climb up the tree.

“Don’t climb up the tree! It is too dangerous! You might fall!” the boy repeatedly told me.

“I have to. That is the only way to get the kite down!” I insisted, ignoring what he said.

I began my climb. Hands and feet clambering up the thick trunk, I ascended slowly. I was about to reach my kite when one of the branches started to give way.

I thought to myself,” Oh shit! I should have listened to that boy’s advice and without taking his kite, he left without a word. How rude of him!”

About twenty seconds later, the branch gave way and I fell and landed on my right arm. The impact was so great that I sprained my arm and I burst out crying. I went home without retrieving my kite and with my arm sprained.

At home, mother asked me what had happened. I had no choice but to tell her everything that I climbed and fell from the tree. When she heard about it, she reprimanded me for my silly actions. I vowed never to do it again. It was a bad experience that I would never forget.
