Today I
experienced a memorable incident in my life. It
was so dangerous that it could probably cost me
my life. I was enjoying my end-of-term vacation
in my grandfather's house in a village. I was
roaming about the paddy field when I suddenly
saw something that gave me the shock of my life.
Beside the vegetable stacks there was a
snake-like creature lying unnoticed and
glistening in the sun. I thought it must be a
snake because of its coiled structure. I was so
afraid that I froze with fear and literally
became numb. I was so terrified that I ran to
inform the village boys. When I came back it was
still lying in the same way. Seeing it lying in
the same way, I was less worried. I gathered
courage and stooped down to pick it up with a
stick, but it didn't move. When it was in my
hand and I took a close look, I was confirmed
that it was only a whiplash. Then I saw my
friends laughing. I understood that it was their
plan to fool me. It was the first day of April,
the April Fool's Day. I hope I never face this
kind of incident again that unnerved me so very
much.
