　　A Funny Memory 童真記趣

Oh God! I think I was about seven and half when mysisters and I pulled this stupid stunt. I rememberwatching television with them and the show onhappened to be our favorite program to watch. All ofa sudden we heard my brother, Chris, yelling fromthe backyard. So we all headed out there to see whathappened. When we finally located him, he was in atree hanging from the highest tree branch. Crying,he explained to us that he had climbed up the treeand couldn't get down. We thought, okay, one of usshould climb up and get him off, but we couldn't manage to get him moving down.

It was then my youngest sister, Ka, who was five and a half at the time had seen a similarsituation. She suggested we grab a sheet, hold it under the branch Chris was hanging off of,and tell him to drop so we can catch him. My other sister, Yams, who is one year younger thanme, peered at me to confirm the idea and I said "Yeah, let's try that".

So we grabbed a sheet from the closet and went to hold it beneath the tree. Now mind you, theages holding this blanket were ranging from seven and a half to five and a half, thus the sheetwas probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we wereconfident it could work.

We looked up to Chris and he looked down at us a bit hesitant. I don't blame him the Poorguy. It was then we told him to let go and to fall on his back. Chris looked at me and asked "Areyou sure I'll land on the blanket?" Now, my brother at the age of four, had a cute squeakyvoice. But because of a problem at birth with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, itcame out more like this, "Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?", "Yup!", I told him, "We're sure!"and he let go.

Now when I think about Chris letting go of that branch, I think of his faith in me and my sistersand I also think how stupid he was to trust us, cause when that boy let go he was in for a bigsurprise. Chris fell right through that sheet and landed right on his stomach. And no matterhow tight we held on to the sheet, he still managed to get through.

We were shocked and a bit worried and we looked at the ground where he landed. This tinyseventy pound boy had made a hole right through the sheet and landed. He was positioned likeone of those chalk drawings you find after a homicide, with one arm near the head another tothe side and the knee bent a bit. We might as well have drawn an outline because he wasn'tmoving. So we bent down to check if he was still alive and when we asked him if he was okayhe uttered these five words… "Ah stee hi da flow" in other words, "I still hit the floor!" Poor littleman! But before you condemn us, Chris is fourteen now and he still bugs us about it, any treehe climbs he gets down on his own and, strangely, he wants to be a fireman when he grows he can write that he had personal experience about jumping and catching. See, no harmdone…
