The worst mistake ever!

The worst mistake ever!

       When my dad was only about six, he went to Helena Bay Hill School. They had furnace instead of a big bin to be taken to the dump. That’s how the worst mistake ever happened.

       One day my dad had to take out the bin to the furnace to be burnt. He had to take three bins. So he carried one at a time down to the furnace to burn the paper.

         So he got to the furnace, he set the full bins down and lifted the lid and poured the first bin in. He went down to pick up the second bucket he forgot to shut the furnaces lid. Just before he poured the second bin, a big gust of wind blew and a small piece of lit paper came out of the furnace and went over towards the big school hedge, and, WHOOOSH!! The hedge burst into flames! Like colourful fireworks, red, orange and yellow.

         Of course he was scarred. So he ran to the school buildings and hid under one of them. But he found him, and got the strap, because they didn’t know it was an accident.

          But everything’s ok, the hedge is grown back to it’s normal state. Now it’s just a funny story to share!
