A Lucky Escape

It was a wonderful hot and sunny afternoon. I was at the park with my
best friend Annie, We were eating a delicious chocolate ice-cream
while we were talking about how difficult the math’s class was.

Suddenly, and out of the blue, a very aggressive dog came running
toward us and started barking like crazy! I was so scared that I
jumped over Annie and started screaming! “ Get off me!” she yelled!
She was so frightened too that she threw her ice-cream to the dog!
Fortunately, the dog got distracted with it and while it was eating the
ice-cream, we could run away!

While I was running, I realized I still had my ice-cream on my left hand!

I didn’t drop it! Lucky me! When we were finally safe, we were talking
and laughing about our adventure while eating the ice-cream.
