My brother and I went outside and we went for a ride on the new slow sled that Michael just bought. My brother let me drive his sled. I punched the throttle and it did a wheelie. I fell off.

When I fell off, I hit a tree in the field and a branch poked me in the eye. Michael turned his sled around and he ran back to me to see if I was alright.
He asked me, “Are you alright?”
I told him that I was okay and he put me on his sled and took me back home.
When Mom got home, she asked, “What happened?”
Later that day I went back outside to go for another ride on the sled. Michael went with me. This time Michael got hurt bad. He was showing off and driving too fast. He turned and rolled the sled over. Michael got thrown off the sled as the sled was rolling.
The track was still moving and it hit Michael’s arm and broke it. I turned my sled around to see if he was alright. I started panicking.
I got Michael up, on to my sled, and took him home. Mom took him to the emergency room. He had a broken arm but would be alright.
After a month, Michael and I went for another ride. We were careful! The end.
