NARRATIVE

When I was 6 years old, my brother and I were playing in sand heap on road. It was Sunday afternoon. Suddenly two big dogs began running towards us; they were barking like ferociously. We saw a building under construction near us and we ran towards it. We scrammed inside the building; the dogs also chased us from behind. I thought someone would be in the building to save us, but we couldn’t find anyone. Luckily my brother knew how to climb walls, so he climbed the wall and got into the next house. All this time I thought those dogs would bite me to bits and I would die. But our brother called a sister from the next house. She charged in to the building with a stick and chased those dogs away. She saved my life. I was so thankful to my brother and that sister.
