Sosa Family Story

My family story is from when I went to a resort called Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay with
my entire family. It was really beautiful there and there were at least 20 species of palm tree
everywhere and about 4 pools. Anyway when we went there my aunt was walking down some
stairs to go the pool and as soon as she passed the step where the coconuts were above her
one of them fell right behind her. If the coconut had fell on her head she would have fallen
down about 50 steps. At the end she grabbed the coconut and took it to the pool where my
family and I were.
My dad opened the coconut with his hands (just made a hole basically) and we took
turns drinking from it. At night we brought the coconut to the hotel room and cracked it in two
and ate it. The coconut didnt have a lot of white meat inside but it was still really good. The
next day the coconut was still in the room because we forgot to throw it out and it started to
smell really bad so we had to throw it out. This story impacted me because now I know that at
any moment someone can die of stupid things but can sometimes survive it.
