Flying Dog
During Summer Holidays.
I like Summer, because the weather is often very nice. And when the weather is very nice, my parents decide to bring me to the beach. We use to go to Dover, it is in the southeast of England, and I very like it because I can see the French coast, it's like seeing a foreign country. It would be so amazing to have a trip there, but my parents don't want, they say it is too expensive to move there. I have never understood why we have to pay for moving...
When we go to Dover, we stay in a quite cheap hotel. My parents take Dog, the family dog, with us. That's very annoying because I have to bear its face all the trip. I also take Gobble, my goldfish, in an aquarium, so that he can travel with us and see the sea. Maybe he can remember the time before we adopted him, when he was swimming in the ocean!
That time, I was over the cliffs, with my parents and Dog. My parents wanted me to let Gobble at the hotel, because they said "you won't carry Gobble in the aquarium all the walk long!". I suggested them to take him in a glass of water, but they denied.
So I was walking over the cliffs, Dog following me with its dumb face. Then a very weird idea came up to my mind. I thought it would be a very nice present to Dog to offer it a trip in France, without us. So I picked it up and approaches the border of the cliff to throw Dog away.
But my mother ran to me, shouting me to stop. Then I obeyed her, because she is my mother, and I dropped Dog on the ground.
"Why did you want to throw Dog from the top of the cliff? She asked.
- Mom! I said. Dog is so stupid, it doesn't deserve to be in our family. So I wanted to throw it in the sea, so that it can swim to France."
My mother explained me then that it is not because Dog was stupid that I could kill it. It wasn't my goal, even if I wouldn't have cried if so, but I understood my mother talk.
Lesson of the day : It's not because someone is an idiot, that he cannot live.
