My Grandma’s Mango Tree

We screamed and tried to descend as fast as

possible, but not fast enough to avoid several

stings. Fortunately, for Myron, he was able to

escape all but one of the stings. As we hustled to

the ground and ran for safety, we felt the pain of
our bodies, which were now swollen from the

bites. My grandmother rushed out to see what all

the commotion was about, and provided us with

some medication for the stings, which she rubbed

over the swellings.

My friends exclaimed that after many months of

playing in our clubhouse, they could not believe

that the trees were also housing terrible insects.

After our traumatic event we decided to be more
vigilant next time.

My grandmother asked my dad to check the trees

and get rid of all the wasps that lived in them.

My friends left in disbelief, but vowed that they

will return to their usual spot despite their
unexpected experience.
