The Lucky day

“First day of summer” beamed Jacob from his window. He had been waiting for summer to come all semester. Jacob is just an average kid, loved sports, did good in school, had a loving heart also a passion for camping. It was the last night at home until Jacob went camping for a few days. He made sure his phone was charged, enough food, enough water and proper clothes and shoes.

A beautiful blue sky, blistering summer sun, it was a perfect day to go camping. Around 10 o’clock Jacob started his hike. Since Jacob was hiking he didn’t want to get bored so he kept himself occupied with his catchy music and trendy dance moves. After a couple of songs Jacob lost his contraction and his mind was somewhere else.

A few hours went fast like a blink of an eye. The blistering sun was settling down while the relaxed moon made it’s way to the indigo sky. Jacob hadn’t found a place to sleep but since it was getting dark he placed his tent in the middle of nowhere. As soon as the tent was up Jacob made a nice-heated fire and put together a delicious meal.

In the middle of the Jacob woke up. He could hear growling wind which sounded like howling wolves on a full moon. The ground was hard as a rock which made it uncomfortable for him. It was no use for him to sleep but he tried hard and eventually he fell fast asleep. Early dawn he packed his stuff and started hiking again he was on a mission to go to his favourite camp place.

During the day he came upon an unsteady path with lots of slippery rocks. Jacob didn’t worry too much because he thought he had to right pair of shoes on, but he was wrong!. He was dragging his feet across the path until he slipped and fell down a hill. As he was proceed to go now the hill he scraped his leg on a sharp pointy rock.  

He reached the bottom, he couldn’t breathe properly, gripping onto his leg like it’s going to fall off, his face turning red, painting like no tomorrow. But apparently it was his lucky day the helicopters saw him laying helplessly on the dirty ground and rushed him to hospital. Jacob was so thankful that the helicopters were there to save him from torture. So for the rest of the summer he had to recover and look after his leg.
