Being Together

Once on a summer evening in an emerald, green garden, the cold breeze made the flowers wave from side to side. The colorful marigolds and roses made the garden look like a giant rainbow. The sightseeing view of the flowers was awesome. The fragrance of the beautiful flowers like the roses and cosmos filled the air. Bees were sitting on flowers and kept drinking nectar. Many of the bees sat on the jasmine which had a great smell. The spider lilies were spreading everywhere.

After some time two kids named James and Tom came to the garden. James had a fair complexion, blonde hair, and a small nose. Tom had a sun-kissed complexion, black hair, and a small nose like James. James wore a black and white bandana on his face. He also wore white Bermuda shorts and white Hawaiian shirts. His sneakers were white too. Tom wore a baseball cap which was orange in color and a pair of blue sneakers. He wore black running shorts and a black T-shirt. James was brave, calm, and had a “never-give-up” attitude. Tom was a nervous and shy kid.

James and Tom were sitting on a small bench. James reminded Tom they could play football and win this time. They ran towards their football and told the other team, “Let’s play football’’. The other team agreed and started the match. Tom and James were determined that this time they would win.

All of them were playing football and didn’t notice the narrow but deep hole below them which was made because construction was going on. Suddenly James and Tom fell inside. Tom screamed, “Help me”. James shouted, “Stay calm and try to solve the problem.” Both of them were more terrified than ever before. They tried hard to find a solution fast.

Suddenly Tom found an old, dirty but working cell phone and asked James, “What is this rusted thing over here?”

James replied, “It is a cell phone, I think we can call someone to help us with this’’.

James called his parents and cried, “Me and Tom were playing football and we fell into a huge hole, can you help us?”

James mother calmed him down. She assured, “ I’ll inform Tom’s mother and come to help you.” She came with Tom’s mother and gave them a rope to climb up. Finally, they were out of the hole.

They were more grateful than ever before. They thought of going to another park and playing football there, so they called the other team and went to play in another park. At the other park, they were able to win and thought that it was the best day. After the incident, Tom and James realized if they would have been separated, then nobody would have been able to get out. Together, they easily found a way to get out.
