The weekend finally came so my friend and I went outside to play some basketball. Next to my house there was a very old house with stone walls surrounding it. I took my shot and the ball went straight over the wall.
“You threw it so you get it” Jake said.
“Fine” I replied.
I hopped the wall. Since the ground on the other side was much lower I wasn’t able to hop back over. The man who lived there jumped out of his back door and started sprinting towards me. That’s when I knew I should run. I was cornered, but Jake had managed to open the gate in time. I just barely got out.
While I never got the ball back I’m happy I never got caught by that grumpy old man.
Ball or no ball – I don’t think I’d be going back in there in a hurry!
Good work Benny! Well done!
