riding bikesI want to tell you about one accident that happened when i was 4 years old. It was a beautiful summer day. We were watching cartoons with my my neighbour and best friend Pavlik at my granny’s home. Then we got bored and decided to go out and ride our bicycles.

We had similar three wheeled bikes. We started to ride to see who would be faster...and what a pity! We ran into each other! It was awful. But I did not cry and Pavlik did not cry two. After our bad fall he helped me and took two broken bikes to bring them home. When Pavlik’s father returned, we told him about our tragedy and showed him our scratches and broken bikes. He smiled, kissed us and said: “Children, don’t worry! All your scratches will heal until your wedding day”.

And now when I have injures, I always remember these words.
