As a sixth grader in Montreal, Quebec, my
classmates and I hiked through the woods. We came upon a grassy knoll
where we had to swing on a rope from one dock to another. Lisa – with
her big glasses, red pigtails, and a squeaky voice – was the last one to swing on the rope. She said:
“I am scared.”
We all egged her on. She tried, and boy did she try. While in
mid-air, she let go of the rope way too early and landed under the dock.
Thank goodness she was not seriously hurt. I am not one to laugh at
her mishap, but there was something so endearingly cute about her – I
wanted to draw this memory.
