The Day Mark Broke His Leg

Mary McCowan

It was a normal day and Angus my friend was having a Birthday party at Eribol Farm. Tom, Mark (my brother) Sophie and Murray were also going. My Mum got to the bottom of the road and told us to run up to the house. Mark was first to run and just as we all had started to run Mark had started to shout.

"HELP I have broken my leg".

The others thought he was joking and so did I. Mum told us to run ahead so we all did. Later Julie (Angus Mum) told us that Mark had been taken to hospital. What a strange day. He had broken his leg and the biggest bone.
