PLN 16
On Friday of last week a young boy around nine years old was attacked by a coyote. The coyote attacked the boy from behind while he was snowboarding on a golf course. The boy swatted the animal on the head a few times; the coyote then released and ran away. The boy is now ok thankfully. In my eyes at nine years old I have no clue what I would have done to try and save myself. Truthfully I don’t think that I would have been as brave as this nine year old boy. My brother just turned ten in September, but even now I don’t think he would have been as brave as this other boy who was attacked. I think that he would have screamed bloody murder until someone came and saved him. About three or four years ago my father and I had gotten back on a Sunday afternoon form a long days work. We unloaded the truck and put a basket of bags into the house when a snake slithered out and into the hallway where my sister saw it and ran to tell my mother and father. They went back into the hallway and saw it slither under the office door and behind one of the cabinets. My dad instantly put out sticky pads and traps to try and catch the snake. After that about an hour or two later the whole family was upstairs getting ready for bed. While in bed my little brother normally reads to my mom or dad but forgot his book down stairs in the office. He quickly booked it down the stairs and then creped slowly into the office and peeked behind the cabinet that the snake crawled behind and then let out a blood curdling scream. I had never heard anything like that in my life. I instantly jumped out of bed and ran down stairs; meanwhile my parents and sister were doing the same thing. Once we were all down there we saw my little brother running out of the office, with a look of just have seen a ghost on his face. My mother, father, sister and I all looked at one another and busted out with laughter. As you can see my little brother is a wimp but I still love him. In conclusion I can say what I think but I would never know how one of us would take the situation into our hands and make an outcome.
