The sting of the scorpion
By patrick kearon

When patrick was small they lived in the peninsula and well his parents told him to put on his shoes. As you can tell in the peninsula there are many dangers that lurk there and that’s why you have to be careful. So young patrick didn’t put on his shoes but some sandals. He thought that his sandals were going to protect him and either way he wasn’t going very far. So as he was walking he got stung by a scorpion and he described the pain as excruciating. He started to call for help...and then his parents came. They took him to the doctor and they said that everything would be okay. They numb his foot so he wouldn’t feel pain. That day he learn to not wear sandals when going to explore and that he should have chosen the right.

A life lesson i learned about this story is that our parents are always right..they are always trying to protect us but we don’t see it like that.
