December 20 Dear Brian,
I got your e-mail! I liked your new rule. I will never try to catch a falling dinosaur .It isn’t safe!
Danny also wrote to me about the accident. He feels bad, because he was careless. He could have prevented the accident. You had warned him to use the ladder. But he didn’t use it. He fell on you! You saved him! Accidents happen so suddenly. I remember when I broke my leg. I was seven years old. My mother took me to the park one day. I saw a big tree. My mother tried to stop me from climbing it. She didn’t think it was safe, but I told her I would be careful. “Don’t climb too high,” she warned. She watched me climb higher and higher. “Look at me, Mother!” I shouted. “I can almost touch the sky!”
“ That’s too high.” she called. “Take care, Li Ming!” Suddenly, the tree broke. I fell and fell. My mother tried to save me. But she couldn’t catch me. I hit the grass very hard.
My mom took me to the hospital. There was something wrong with my leg. It hurt! I couldn’t move it. At the hospital, the doctor said my leg was broken.
It took me three months to recover. I didn’t play football that year!
Now, I always listen to my mother’s warnings about safety. I hope that Danny has listened to you, too.
Do you like the gift I have sent you?
Merry Christmas!
Take care,
