Haiku and I

| Almost died in the Waterfall |

 anecdote

When my grandparents (father's parents) were alive we went on our farm full of mango trees with ripe fruits. It was my first time visiting grandpa's farm and his brother's family is the one guarding it.

I ate mango in their house even though I have cough, it was full of mango in the big black basket and I could not say no to its delicious smell.

After that my parents, grandparents, cousins, grandpa's brother and I went far away because I was little back then so in my mind it was a far walk. We went through the forest and saw a crystal clear waterfall.

At first my cousin Kofi and I played hiding in the plastic big Tupperware, and suddenly I swam far so my cousin could not find me but... The water started pushing me away. My knees and hands were hurt by the big rocks for water carrying me away. I screamed help and try my best to hold some rocks because the water was too strong and drowning me. I was a kid; I have a slight force to hold some rock so I pray that day that someone will save me that moment for I am too young to die. Someone did save me but pity me, I forgot who he or she is, I don't even know if he's my grandpa, uncle, father, stranger, or my mother.
