Disobedientdan
to the left. In a flash, my brothers arms and legs flailing about in the
air flipped over the handlebars that betrayed him. In the air for
seconds he flew like a bird dodging bullets until he finally hit face to
concretethose poor pearly whites cracking upon impact.
I screamed in horror as I saw my brother fall, just as I had
imagined it time and again in my worried mind. I ran toward my bloodsoaked brother who was crying salty tears of regret. I carefully
helped him up and guided him into the house as he limped beside me.
Inside, we washed his face clean of blood and rough dirt and
gravel, and my brother stopped crying. Once I had done all I could to
help clean him up, I gave him a hug and asked, Are you alright?
Yes, my brother replied. But it really hurts.
What really hurts? I asked, still a bit worried how my mom
would react to my brothers injury.
My teeth, my humbled brother responded trying to catch his
breath and not cry again. As he said that, I noticed something
missinghis front tooth!
Open your mouth, I hastily instructed my brother.
He opened wide and as I suspected, he had lost his front tooth!
You stay here and rest, I said to my brother calmly. I sprinted
outside and followed the trail of red dots untilAha! My brothers lost
tooth! I felt like a lucky pirate who had found treasure!
I ventured back to my brothers room and presented the treasure
to my brother.
Hey, at least the tooth fairy will visit sooner, I encouraged my
still-shaken brother.
Yah, replied my brother with a toothless smile. Im sorry I
didnt listen to you, my brother apologized.
In the end, my brother learned a valuable lesson in listening, and
I learned to be a responsible big sis.
