My Nature Place

My brother and I

Once made a rope swing

Tied onto a tree over a creek.

There was a rope, and at the bottom

There were old bike handle bars.

And then we swung on it.

It's very fun, but if you fall off in the air . . .

It's not fun.

We fell right into a creek

And got all muddy and wet.

Once I fell in the creek,

But I didn't get wet and dirty.

Only wet and muddy on the feet.

Then my mom said that we should

Take our filthy shoes off and clean them.
