120 The Unforgettable Moments in Life

The Swing and The Tree

By Kobe Mojilong

On Easter, when she was in 5th grade, she

had a metal swing in their backyard. They

would attach it to a tree. She and her

brothers would go there after school and

play on it. Her parents would always tell

her not to ride the swing because it was a

baby swing. She might get hurt because it

was too small for her. She didn’t listen to them and just rode in it anyway.

One day, she and her brothers were playing in their backyard. They were digging holes in

the ground, and they would grab apples and throw them at each other's holes. They would build

forts and connect them throughout the neighborhood. Eventually, she started swinging, but this

time the swing couldn’t hold her, so she fell with the swing and the tree fell with it too! The tree

CAME CRASHING DOWN and her brothers all ran away. The tree was all around her, but it

somehow missed her body. The blue seatbelt was locked, so she couldn't get out. She was

literally stuck in a Little Tikes’ baby swing and her brothers thought that was hilarious. It took

forever until her parents looked outside. The kitchen window looked out to the backyard and

they finally noticed because her brothers were teasing her. They were trying to get her to stand

up and walk around while she was still attached to the swing. Eventually, her parents came out to

help her, but when she looked back at their faces, they seemed mad because she didn't listen to

them.
