Last summer

Kristjan Jasinski

 

It all happened last summer. I was having a good time at the beach, just relaxing and sunbathing. It was a sunny day with no wind. The water was also warm, around 27° C. It was crowded, but I didn’t see any of my friends. So I decided to go swimming.

There was a tower, where people could practice water jumps. I decided to go there and jump down from 8 meters. I had never jumped from that height…

So I climbed to the top of the tower. It was a winding stairway so I got a bit dizzy. As I reached the top I saw the magnificent view to the lake. The water was still. And all of the people were so small. As I reached to the jumping point I jumped. When I hit the water, I was shocked. My legs started cramping and I had hit my leg against something. It was a sharp rock. I managed to get out of the water and get to the shore, but when I got to my stuff, I noticed that my leg was bleeding.

I walked to the lifeguard and got my leg cleaned and bandaged. When I got back home, I was glad that my leg was OK. Although I hurt my leg, it had been one of my best days of the summer.
