The Waterfall (Recount) 31/05/2026

                                         The Waterfall 



The soft trickle of water brought music to my ears. I chuckled at the sight of my little brother stumbling over a mossy log. "Come on, John!" I called. "O-okay," he whimpered in reply. I shook my head. That wasn't going to work.

Soon, I was dragging him along the muddy path to the top of the waterfall. His expression was terrified, but I could spot a little twinkle behind his eyes. Suddenly, he stopped, and I, unaware, tumbled into the mud headfirst. EWWWW!

Once I turned my body over, I saw my brother offering to help me up. I gladly grabbed the opportunity, and he pulled me onto my feet. "You look...ugly," he told me. "Thanks," I grumbled.

Thunder rumbled as we continued along our treacherous path. Finally, we reached the top of the mountain. "HELLO?" I shouted into the sky. Only the growling thunder answered me.
 
"Ready to go back down?" I asked my brother. He didn't answer. His eyes were distant, gazing over the wilderness. But then, his foot landed on a stone, and... he toppled down the mountain. "Stop!" I cried, but he couldn't stop or didn't hear me. Actually, both seem likely.

I ran after him, but soon I tripped over too, and was soon gaining speed. I wondered what we looked like from above. Probably like cucumbers rolling down a slide.

We reached the bottom after what felt like an hour. "Phew," I said in relief. "That was so fun!" my brother told me, smiling. "Yeah," I agreed. 

That was super cool!

Character descriptive paragraph: My brother

My brother walked into the house, his feet heard padding around the room. When he saw the present lying near his feet, his eyes gleamed, like the sun on a bright summer day. He lunged at it, his hands a blur, his jet black hair sparkling with sweat. He tore the wrapper, leaving only the neglected scraps to fall gently onto the wooden floor. "Hooray!" he cried, holding it out in the light, his feet jumping up and down in excitement. As fast as a cheetah, he sprinted up the stairs to show his grandparents this newly found toy. My parents smiled and I returned it. I had never seen him so joyous.                                                                                                                  ...
