An accident

I was talking to a friend over the telephone when I heard
the kettle singing. Calling out to my six-year-old sister,
Leela, I told her to turn off the switch.

Suddenly, I heard a loud crash and Leela yelling at the top
of her voice. I immediately rushed into the kitchen. I was
horrified to see Leela holding the electric cord and sitting
in a puddle. The kettle was overturned on the floor. I
realized that after turning off the switch, Leela had tried to
pull the cord out of the kettle. However, she must have
pulled so hard that the kettle fell.

I quickly carried Leela to the sofa. Frantically, I grabbed
my father’s hair cream and applied it on Leela’s scalded
legs, hoping that it would help to soothe the pain. Just
then, our mother came back from the market. When she
knew what had happened, she quickly took Leela to the
hospital.

Luckily, the doctor said that Leela was not seriously hurt.
She would be fine after a few applications of the cream he
prescribed.

I felt very sorry for indirectly causing the accident. I
apologized to my family and promised to be more
responsible in future.

An accident at home

Joh is my neighbor. He is a naughty and mischievous boy.
He often comes to my house to play with my skate board. I
knew something would happen to him one day and it really
happened in my house one weekend.

One Saturday morning, John came to my house to
complete some homework. At that time, my parents were
not at home. John saw my skate board. He begged me to
allow him to play with it.

At first, I did not approve of it, but John persisted. He
pleaded and pleaded. In the end, I gave in to him and he
was happy. He played with the skate board and while he
was riding on it, he accidentally tripped over a big piece of
stone. To my horror, he knocked himself against the wall.
His forehead was bleeding. I quickly telephoned for the
ambulance.

After a while the ambulance came and took John to the
hospital. I was miserable because John was in hospital
with a bleeding forehead. When my parents came home, I
told them what had happened. Together we went to the
hospital to visit John. John was not asleep and his parents
were there. John apologized for being naughty and
promised to be good in future.
