Have you ever had a silly or goofy experience? I had a goofy experience with my friend we were young.
It was a scorching summer, my friend called Yae -sol and I were playing in front of our house in Seoul, Korea. At that moment, we were both 6 years old, and was pretty young and inconsiderate. There was a colorful playground, where other kids were running, screaming and playing. Yae-sol and I climbed up the stairs, through the ramp and reached the top of playground. There was shade from the ginkgo trees, which was an ideal place to be in such a hot summer. We played tag, went on the see saw, pushed each other on the swing and went on the monkey bars. My friend, Yae-sol, seating on the side, bored, was licking her Popsicle.Suddenly, she popped out of her seat as if there was something interesting. What she found was a small gap on the plastic wall of the playground. Yae-sol, full of curiosity, stuck her arm in the plastic walls of the playground. She was disappointed that she couldn’t find anything in there. The moment she was trying to pull out her arms out of the gap, she realized that her arm was stuck in the plastic wall. Yae-sol called me for help and I tried to pull her out, but it was useless. I heard her crying in pain and I stood there not knowing what to do to solve this problem. The solution I came up was calling Yae-sol’s mom. In about 2 minutes, Yae-sol’s mom ran out, breathing heavily. When she saw her daughter caught in the gap, crying, she grasped her back and pulled her hard. Again, it was useless. Yae-sol’s mom called 911 and the rescue team came to rescue Yae-sol. I was blankly standing beside her full of puzzlement. The man from 911 told be to back up and opened the black box. I was shocked what I saw; there was a huge power saw. The rescue worker started to cut off the playground wall and finally her arms were free. Fortunately, her arms were fine, but Yae-sol’s mom had to pay around $1000 to rebuild the playground.
