Lily Sanchez Water 6/9/09 The Water Fall It was about a year ago when I went to my aunt Kara’s house. I remember my cousin Cesar Lopez was coming for the summer. I was very excited about seeing him again since I had not seen him in a while. So when he came over we where just talking then we got bored so. My cousin Nancy and Berenice thought we should go for a walk in the woods behind my aunt’s house. So Cesar, Nancy, Berenice and I started by following a little path that we had found. Then we found a river, it was not that deep, but we didn’t want to go in because we all where wearing pants and sneakers and didn’t want to get wet. So we decided to cross it by stepping on the rocks. Nancy went first, then Berenice. When it was my turn I was so sure I would make it, but I slipped or a rock. I really didn’t want to fall in the dirty water, so I grabbed a branch behind me. The branch bent and I was really close to the water. My hair got wet and I could see the dirty water right in front of my face. I remember thinking about all the bugs and other insects in that river. So I got really scared and I started screaming to them for help. I first looked at Cesar for help then I saw him laughing really, really hard. But I kept on screaming for help. I turned to Nancy and she looked like she was about to pee in her pants and was holding it. Then I saw Berenice, she war right in next to me, but she too was laughing. I looked at her in the eyes and screamed help me.! And she moved closer to me to try to help. But she couldn’t all by herself. So I kept screaming and Nancy finally managed to move closer to me and try to help as well. So they both pulled the branch back and were able to it get up. I looked at Cesar he was still on the rock path and was still laughing. He slipped on the rock, but didn’t fall. Nancy was laughing so hard she hit the floor. Berenice was laughing too, but asked if I was okay. After a little while we kept walking, and found another path. We fallowed it, so then there was this really steep hill. We all tried to climb it, Cesar went first, then Nancy, and then it was my turn. It was really hard to climb, so grabbed Nancy’s hand. It was all going okay and we were close to the top. Then I stepped on a rock, I slipped and went rolling down the hill. I somehow did a back flip, then my right hip hit a tree. My cousin Nancy tried to help me, but fell and rolled down the hill as well. Cesar ran to get us, and I could see he was laughing. Then when we reached the bottom there was the river. We decited to take our shoes off and roll up our pants, and follow the river to find our way back to my aunts house. The water seemed fine at first then it got darker and dirtyer as we walked in deeper. Pretty soon we couldn't see anything and there was some white fome on the water. Than Nancy screamed that she felt something by her feet. I laughed, but i was sceared. Then soon enough I felt something by my right foot. I screamed because I knew it was a snake. I didnt wait any longer and i ran out of the river as fast as i could. All of them got too sceared as well and ran out after me. We keept on walking and then found a path, we fallowed it and it lead us to some rich house. We had to run across their back yard to get to a street and find our way home. We where really lucky no one saw us. All that walking and we somehow ended up im my aunt's neighbord's back yard.
