                We were walking along when we heard the dog barked. The sound was heard more clearly . Then  we saw a big dog. We felt scared. The dog stared at us and directly chased us. We ran away and ran toward the big tree. We climbed up the tree. Unfortunately, the dog waited for us right under the tree. We could do nothing. The only thing that we could do was waiting as the dog did. We shouted ‘help’, but nobody heard. It took for hours.

                We heard the man shouted ‘Miles’ repetitively. We guessed Miles was the name of the dog. Our guess was right. That man was the master of the dog. The man saw the dog and called it. Finally, the dog walked away. We felt relief. We climbed down the tree. And we ended up to go to Ika’s house since it was too late and we had already been tired waiting for a long time on the tree. It was my bad day that I ever had.
