Alternative way of sailing
I remember lots of funny situations from my childhood and I
really miss this beautiful and carefree time..I have to admit that I was very
activ child. Horse riding, bike, boulding a shelter, jumping rope-those wre my
favourite activities and I also loved to climb the trees…in a poit of fact I
still like it;). But this story isn’t connected with none of those.I decided to
discribe other crazy event wchich took place on the on the edge of the pond. I think
I was about 8 years old..
Me and my neighbor Aga were plying outside on the meadow at
the end of our street. There was a little pond opsite Aga’s house.
Unfortunatelly the area around the pond was littered but we loved this place
anyway;). Once we came up with the idea to make a raft!Easier said than done.
We spent hours on desperate attempts to build our raft. Firstlly-classic one
made of wood . We were doing our best but raft was still drowning. Next we
decided to use a paddling pool wchich was also a bad idea..Finally we were so
tired and frustrated that we nearly gave up but I suddenly came up with crazy
alternative solution. I decided to use one of the garbage bags wchich were
within easy reach. They ware filled by plastic bottles so they easily floated.
I took long branche as a help to keep balance on the bag and I came up on it.
It’s easy to predict what happened.. After few seconds of glory I felt into the
cold water. My friend was rolling on the floor with laughter and I got out of
the water with a firm decision to put the brakes on the raft challenge;).
After few years from this episode to our despair the pond
was overwhelmed by a digger . Now we’re always laughing at this raft story;)
And here I presents You a few photos from my childhood;D
