My little sister Lisa was practising how to ride a bicycle yesterday. Suddenly, I heard a loud crash
and ran to see what had happened. I saw that she was lying on the ground. I quickly pulled her up
and brought her home. She was crying out loud. I quickly went inside the house and brought the
first aid box. After cleaning the wound, I applied antiseptic to it. Lisa had scratches on her hand
and knee. To calm her down, I took her to the nearby shop and bought her a big chocolate. Seeing
her favourite chocolate, she immediately stopped crying. Within two days, her wounds healed, and
she went to play again.
