My sister woke me up early this morning. She ran into my room before the alarm clock went off. “Look outside!” she yelled. I got out of bed and looked out the window. All that I could see was white snow! There was a man shovelling the sidewalk in front of our house. Mom came into the room. She brought us each a mug of hot chocolate. “No school today!” she said. I was very happy. My sister was happy, too. Mom left the room to find our snow clothes. She gave me my blue snowsuit. She also gave me a hat and mittens. “What are you going to do today with no school?” she asked.
I said that I will be having loads of fun and my sister nodded gleefully. We will do many things like we will make a snowman, then we fled outside taking shovels. We were delighted and wanted to enjoy the first snowfall of the season. We started making a snowman and decorated it with twigs. My sister found a red color rag and wrapped it around the snowman, it was amazingly fun. The snowfall was quite heavy and we thought of going around the woods. We put on our parkas as the wind was extremely chilly.
We strolled and reached near the woods, it was plenty of snow everywhere and my sister looked at me mischievously and before I could act she threw a handful of snow over me and laughed and shouted it's your turn Victor and we soon get into snow fight and rolling all over but we heard a faint sound of a man and it seemed he is groaning in pain. I and my sister cautiously moved towards the sound. We were shocked to see a man tied against a tree and was asking for HELP! I picked up a broken branch to protect us against any attack. The man said, " He was robbed by some hooligans and they tied him here and since morning he is shouting for help."
My sister Anna acted smartly and immediately took out her cell phone and dialled emergency number and updated the situation. I soon untied the man and gave him a chocolate bar I had in my pocket. He felt good after eating the chocolate bar. We started to walk towards the house and the rescue team arrived. The three officers came out of the van. One of them helped to get that man into the car as he was shivering because of chilly wind and his legs were bruised. The other officer went to check the place where the incident happened and asked a few questions to the man about the appearances of the hooligans that robbed him. The other officer asked us a few questions and praised and patted us for our courage and smartness. Me and my sister were photographed, parents name and they took the address of our house. We shook hand and the officer dropped us home as it was getting late.
Finally, we got home and officer updated the incident to my parents. My parents were totally in disbelief and scolded us for going alone near the woods in the bad weather. The next day in the local daily we were made hero, the city Mayor applauded us for our courage and me and my sister Anna were the talk of the town.
All well that ends well.
