Question

When I was young,I liked to play jokes on people I knew,especially on my parents and friends. One day my mother was cooking and I was playing with my younger brother Tony. Suddenly I ran to my mother and said ,“Tony fell from the open window!” She was

   very worried and ran out of the kitchen. Then I said, “Don’t worry,I'm just joking.” My mother shouted at me ,“If you do it again,I'll hit you. ”

    Another day I went swimming with my friends in the sea. I wanted to play a joke on them. In the

beginning I swam fast and I called out “Help!” All my friends came to help me. However,they found that I was joking. But half an hour later I wasn’t joking. I was so fast,soon I got tired and couldn’t swim on in water. I tried my best to call my friends for help,but this time nobody came to help me.

     In the end they found I was telling the truth. They came and saved my life. They took me to the hospital. This is the best lesson in my life. From then on I haven’t joked on anyone.
