Chris, my neighbor, and i went walking in the woods today. We decided to cross the river, and see if we could find any baseballs. we find an island of sand in the middle of it, and decide to cross over on that. when we got down there, though, we found out that the jump was three feet. i run, jump, and just barely make it across to the island. chris decides he better not. so, he goes on a long and huge hunt to find a stick to build a bridge, while i just sat there. Finally, when he can't find anything, he decides to jump. he does, and he makes it over, too. But, there was an even longer jump on the other side. i decide to try it, and instead of jumping all the way over, one of my feet were soaked to the bone. The free Chris then tries it, and gets all the way up to his knee wet. We knew we were going to get in SO much trouble unless we find an excuse.
We finally come up with an idea:
we were walking on the bank, when chris falls into the stream. He tries to catch himself, but instead, grabbs my ankle and draggs me in.
To make it look true, chris ended up having to dunk under the freezing cold water, and i only had to get down to my hips. All our parents believed us.
