A Bad Day in my Youth When I was 11 years old‚ I was like all boys of this age; I loved to do what ever my parents forbade me to do. Now‚ I understand that they had a reason to warn me about many things. One of them was climbing places where children shouldn’t be. I couldn’t resist climbing trees or buildings just like a monkey. It was a nice‚ summer day and we lived in Odessa‚ Ukraine. Ukraine buildings formed courtyards. My friend and I played in the yard. The yard was small with garages and
