A Mishap

By Vidhya - Grade 6

The scintillating yellow orb illuminated the surroundings which became as hot as a furnace. The yellow orb was relishing playing hide and seek with the clouds. It was enshrouding behind the clouds which were as fluffy as a bale of cotton and as white as snow.
The sky was prodigious. The dulcet chirps of the volery of birds reverberated everywhere and was music to  everyone’s ears. The gentle breeze caressed my face and neck like a mother’s gentle hand. I was returning from school jubilantly as it was a Friday. My parents had resolved to go to a Fun fair the following  day. I was zealous and slept like a log at night. I woke up at the crack of dawn. My mother packed some scrumptious and lip smacking snacks which made my mouth drool  like a waterfall. I packed some chocolates and my I pad. Since the fun fair was not a stone’s throw away, it took an hour for us to reach. When we reached our destination, the alluring beauty of the funfair captured my eyes. I resolved to sit on the best ride when out of the blue, there was a huge thud sound. I witnessed that there was a mishap of a myriad of people sitting on a ride. The ride had fallen down due to some problem in the engine. The people of the funfair had called for ambulances for the treatment of the people who were in excruciating pain due to their injuries.
That deplorable memory was etched in  my  mind like a scar. From that day, I resolved to be careful at all times.
