“Mummy, can we go for a ride at the nearby park?” Rui Shan and Yan Ting asked politely. “Ok, but you must be careful while cycling.” Their mother said. They promised their mother and went out with their brand new bicycles. When they reached the park, there were sounds of nature - Birds chirping and frogs croaking. There were also some people having picnics, some people flying kites and some people jogging. Rui Shan and Yan Ting then started cycling leisurely and cruised along the path. They were so engrossed in talking while cycling that they did not notice they were cycling at breakneck speed.
Suddenly, Yan Ting saw there was twig in front of her. She quickly swerved to the right to avoid the twig. Just at the same time, a ball had rolled to the middle of the cyclist path. A little boy was trying to retrieve it. Yan Ting did not notice the boy was just three meters ahead. A jogger jogged past and saw that the boy’s life was in danger and tried to stop the girls but it was too late. Yan Ting’s bicycle knocked into the little boy and Yan Ting flew into mid air. She sprained her ankle and her face was contorted with pain. Her bicycle was wrecked beyond recognition. She was feeble and could not stand up. Soon, some curious onlookers formed a crowd and saw what had happened. Rui Shan quickly called the ambulance.
A few minutes later, wails of ambulance sirens reverberated in the air. The paramedics attended to Yan Ting and sent her to the nearby hospital. After hearing about the news, Yan Ting’s mother quickly rushed to the hospital. The doctor was examining Yan Ting and told her mother that Yan Ting would be discharged in two days’ time. Her mother was relieved and was happy to hear that Yan Ting was all right. After this painful lesson, Yan Ting learnt to be more careful.
