Hi Folks!
I had had
an excited time before summer ended. As usual, I and Scout, we played and had
fun together. But this time was special that we got a new friend Dill, who came
and joined our gang.
The
weather was hot as it was in every summer. The sunlight was very bright that it pierced
into our eyes. The city was in drought. There was little water left in the pond
since most evaporated into the air. Grasses were so dry and shrank as if they were going to die. People were full of sweat in a day time, and they took a bath
more often. An oak tree was therefore a great place to hide ourselves from the
sun.
It
seemed that everything was fine until we told Dill a story about the Radleys.
He was very interested in it and eventually came up with an idea to get Boo out
of the house. He challenged me to be a leader and the one who opened the door.
In my mind, I thought that how crazy it was. What would happen if Boo came out
and saw us? The question was not pleasant enough to be answered. However, I
decided to accept Dill’s challenge. I opened the door and quickly ran away as
fast as I could. That was a moment that I would never forget.
Too
bad, Dill left us and returned to Meridian in early September. We are going to
miss him very much. The school is going to start in a week, and I have to take
Scout there because it is her first time. Sure, I don’t want her to bother me
anymore when the school opens.
