My Childhood
When I was nine, my father got a job in
California. We decided to move.
We loaded everything into our old brown van and
drove
and drove
and drove.
6
Eight years later, we decided to move back.
So we loaded all our stuff back into the van.
But there was too much stuff.
We needed a trailer.
(Actual proportion of van to trailer.)
7
During the trip back, there was a heat wave.
It was so hot, we had to drive at night.
Then the van broke down.

• The van caught on fire
• The headlights went out
• A tire blew up
• It just stopped. We dont know why

It caught on fire!!
Fortunately, my little brother was smart enough
to flag down a trucker
who had a BIG fire extinguisher.
