Falling From The Bicyle Essay, Research Paper
When spring quits the scene, the summer comes on. Of all the four seasons, perhaps summer is the most pleasant and charming. There is a lush growth of trees and grass. Flowers are in the fullest bloom. This season is the most cheerful of all, especially for students who have a very long vacation in it. The dreadful examination had finished at last! A feeling of relief occupied my heart, so I had a fit of interest in going on an excursion. I invited two friends to go on an outing with me on Sunday.
That morning, the weather was neither too hot nor too cold. The sky was clear and the air was refreshing. It suited everyone best for making journeys. I got up at six when my family were still sound asleep. I tiptoed out of the house and went straight towards my friend s house. After greeting one another, we set off in high spirits. When we got to the bus stop, the queue for the bus was so long that we wondered when we should reach our destination. We just waited for there because we had no chose. Hopefully, when we arrived at the garden, it was nearly eleven o clock. Our destination was the small garden up on the hill. After we had alighted from the bus, we walked along the path in three. It took us about fifteen minutes to go atop the hill. All the way, fresh and green flowers were in full bloom. Green grass also seemed to be showing off their grace in front of us. Pretty butterflies were fluttering about in pair among the flowers. Active bees were fully occupied in picking nectar. Animals were coming out to bathe in the lovely sunshine. The birds on the trees were singing clear and melodious songs as if giving us a welcome to join the beautiful nature. We were totally relaxed in atmosphere of peace and joy. When we had enjoyed the view to the full, it was still quite early. We decided to go down the hill on riding bicycle after we ate and drank up the food and beverage we had brought with us. Though it took us more time to do so, it gave us a distinctive experience. We went to a shop and rent three bicycles. We enjoyed riding the bicycles, and we had a lot of fun. All of sudden, the sky turned dark, and the rain began to fall. We still ride on the bicycles amidst the drizzling rain. After an hour, it rained cats and dogs. At that time, our clothes were moistened by rain. I suggested rushing on the slope of the hill. My friends were scared of riding on the slope. They thought that we needed to find a place to shelter from rain, but I tried to persuade them and told them that it would be fun. So I started riding. In an instant, a weak flash of lighting dimly let the surrounding scenery and went out of sight. A second came, a litter stronger. Then more and more crossed the sky, becoming stronger and stronger. Suddenly an intense flash turned the dark into bright and showed every scene in the surrounding distinctly. Thunder went pealing across the sky, peal by peal, and died away in the distance. In a while, the wind howled and the rain poured down in sheets, as if thousands of horse were galloping. The raindrops hit at me just liked the shots from the machine-guns. Some wastebaskets were drawn out of position and falling onto the lawn. All the grass on the lawn was immersed in water. I found myself in a fix because my bicycle went faster and faster, but I lost the control of my bicycle. I was deadly frightened and nearly cried. I did not know how to stop it. When the bicycle was slide down the slope, it hit a rock. Then I lost the balance. I fell off the bicycle and rushed against a tree. The pain almost tore me apart and then I fell down in a fit. When I woke up, I found myself in the hospital and my leg was broken. I did not know how I reached the hospital at last. It was not until I saw my friends that I knew the truth. When I rushed against the tree, they were blind with terror. They shouted for help. Fortunately, there was a nice woman who saw this accident, did not lose even a second in picking up the phone to call the police. She also tried to calm them down. Finally, I lived in the hospital for a month and I could not go out in this summer holiday. Actually, I am so glad that I broke my leg only but did not lose my life.
When I saw the scar every time, I would remember this experience. I will check the weather before I plant to go out and then I will never be so over-confidence.
