On the Independence Day last year, I didn’t need to go to school. My father and my mother decided to go shopping after that they took me to the zoo in District 1. The last time I went to the zoo was when I was 16, so I was very excited. I enjoyed many beautiful views there, I could see many animals such as monkeys, bears, crocodiles, butterflies, …  I ran everywhere in the zoo. Unfortunately, when I was running, I fell and my leg was broken.

At first my father was very angry and shouted at me because of my carelessness, but after that he looked sad. My mother was worried about my health. I felt extremely terrible and disappointed because I made my parents upset.
