Phoebe's Story
I don¡¦t know how much memory of your childhood you can refresh now. Some of us may forget how we look like and what we did when we were children. However, childhood may not be the happiest period in our life but it must be special.

 

Here, I am going to tell you the crazy things I did in my childhood. I am really a naughty girl. I like to take adventure and find something new; therefore, I did lots of crazy things. Because of that, my childhood is full of scream,
tear and laugh.

I don¡¦t know if you remember that when we were children, there were no toilets in some of the countries. In my grandmother¡¦s home, there was no toilet but only a public traditional toilet, a hole. In the past, people used a deep hole to pile up our excretion instead of using toilets. When the hole is almost full, farmers would take
it away and apply it as a fertilizer in the farm. You would know how
terrible the place is. The thing happened. Just after learning how to walk, I like to walk anywhere to take adventure. One day, I walked in a wide place where growing lots of planets and fruit at my grandmother¡¦s home. I found a new small place and step in slowly.
Suddenly, I fell down because of ignoring the hole of piling up the excretion. Fortunately, I got stuck because I wore lots of clothes in the winter. I tried to get rid of it but I can¡¦t move but only wave my hands and move feet. Finally, my mother found out and came to rescue me. My mother told me if I didn¡¦t wear lots of clothes, I
would fall in that hole and die because of excretion. This matter is just the beginning of my crazy manners. I also fell in a big sticking ditch because try to imitate superman to walk very fast on the small space beside the ditch. However, I also want to ride on a horse like the hero in the Taiwanese opera,ºq¥JÀ¸, so
my younger brother is that horse. The most serious one is .I fell down from the second floor in the apartment. At that time, I sat in the baby-chair that helps the baby learned how to walk and I assumed I could glide perfectly because of that chair. You know, there is no magic like the movie, so I hurt very seriously this time.
Fortunately, I still survive. Those adventures are all the special memory for me but I am really a troublemaker for my parents. My mother said she even could
write a book about the stupid and crazy things that I did when I was a child. I really thank my parents because they take of me without any complain. Although my childhood seems like very exciting, there is one thing I am concern and that is if I become more stupid because I used to fall down and hit my brain. Maybe I am a very
smart if I grow up as a usual child.
