Personal Narrative: The Ride

The Ride

“Can I please?” I asked my grandma “You are going to have to check with your grandpa.” she said “ok.” I said “Grandpa, can I drive the four wheeler?” “Tomorrow.” he said “ok.” I said in side I was doing front flips.

**************

Once I got to there house the four wheeler was sitting out on the drive way. “Yes!” I said. Once I got inside to talk to my grandparents my grandpa was ready to show me “Are you ready?” he asked me “Yes.” I said. Once we were outside and on the four wheeler he showed me all of the stuff that I needed to check before I start it up. When I started it up and put it in low we started to move. “Go slow.” said my grandpa “Ok.” I said. I started to move a little faster I looked at the speedometer we were going 5
Then ahead of me was a really big puddle I thought that if I slow down I wouldn’t get wet so I slowed down. When I got to the puddle I slowly went in it and all of a sudden the four wheeler stopped. I looked down so see that the four wheeler was stuck in the mud so then I stepped on the gas and mud flew up everywhere so I then rocked the four wheeler back and forth then tried it it moved up about a foot. Then I did that over and over again. When I finally got out the tires were full of mud so then I whent to a long strip of grass and punched it the four wheeler went forward I whent 10 mph and some of the mud that was on the tires came off but when I hit the brakes it slowed down about 0.5 mph per 3 feet so when I thought that I was slow enough I turned but what I didn’t think about at that moment mud and wet grass don’t mix so I ended up drifting almost right into a tree but I hit the gas the wheels started to spin and I just got out of their. When I parked it in the driveway I thought to myself “Next time be CAREFUL!!!.” After that day I promised to myself that that will NEVER happen
