This is not a story, it is my true experience…

Today, 9-3-2008, I found the boomerang I lost. It was from Australia and looked really cool. My father, mother and I decided to try out the awesome-looking object. There was a big field for people to jog, play and many more. We went there at about four fifteen(4.15p.m.) in the evening. We took a long walk towards the green field. As it had been raining around my place, the floor was muddy. We had to walk slowly too because of the thorns on the plants. We played with the boomerang and had lots of fun. One time, my father’s throw was so nice that the boomerang flew back to him and he managed to catch it! Another time, mine flew back but I did not manage to catch it.

Now here is what I experienced:

I threw my boomerang and it did not fly back. My father suggested the way I held it was wrong. Anyway, I went to pick the boomerang. As I approached the place where the boomerang landed, I felt something wrong. My foot was sinking! I was in a semi-quicksand patch! I shouted to my parents for help in panic. They said do not move around too much or I would sink faster as the soil would get looser. So I tried to calm down and walk slowly out of the semi-quicksand patch. After a long period of time, I came out alive. Lucky me! I ran for my life, thinking that the soil would come and chase me(although I knew it would not). I finally stopped running and reached my parents. I was safe! While I am now writing this post, thinking of that incident sent shivers down my spine.

So if you ever got into a situation like that, it is best to lie down, open your fingers and try to find a rock or something like that. If there isn’t any, try and float.

Hoo! I’m glad that’s over.
