When I was a child, I
was a tomboy(假小子). I had a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. My
brothers were two and four years older than I. We often played games together.
Once, my brothers and I
fell in love with playing a game called "stealing horses". Then my
parents decided to buy my brothers guns. These were not "real" guns.
Because I was a girl, I didn't get a gun. They shot and
shot at everything with their new guns. I tried to "fight" them with
my bow and arrows (弓和箭). But I was still in
the poor position without a gun.
One day while I was
hiding behind a wall, looking out toward the fields, I felt a terrible blow to
my right eye. I looked up just in time to see my brother lower his gun. Both
brothers rushed to my side. My eye felt great pain and I covered it with my hand.
"If you tell that to Mummy," they said, "We will get a whipping(鞭打) from Daddy. You don't want that to happen, do
you?" I did not. "Here is a piece of wire(电线)," said the older brother, picking it up from the floor, "Say
you stepped on one end of it and the other flew up and hit you." "Yes,"
I said. To be honest, I didn't want them to be punished.
So I did as my brothers told me to do.
A week after the "accident"
my parents took me to see a doctor. Finally I knew my brothers were worried
about my eye, so they told our parents what had happened and asked them to take
me to see a doctor.
