The Day My Mom Saved My Life by Morgan Barker

Based on a true story

I was jumming on the trampoleen with my brother then he went inside. A few minets later I fell in between two springs and hit my head on the wall and got stuck. I was haning upside down with my head barly touching the ground. I was crying and crying for help. then a thout entered my head saying say a praery. So I did. It was three days befor my step dads birthday. My mom was tring to hid a present because it was almost my step dads birthday She thout ubout hiding it in the garauge but somthing told her to put it outside. She followed the coice inside her head to put the present outside. She did. Wile she was doing that, she heard crying and she found me hanging there. She took me inside. Allthough I was outside hanging for thirty minets. My feet were tingling like crazy cause my legs were bent. After she took me inside she rubbed my legs, and feet. After a wile I felt better. then my head started to hert. She rubbed my head and I felt better for the rest of the day WOW! I am glad my mom saved my life!!!
