The Present By Abhinav R

Tick, tock, tick, tock, I’ve been playing video games for a whole day. It’s so boring. My greatest wish is to ride a bicycle. Do you think that I can ride a bicycle? Well I could before but not anymore. So now all I have to play is these boring bicycle video games on the TV.

Eventually my parents come downstairs. They look at me sitting on the couch and sigh then they go back upstairs. I hear a door SLAM,  then my parents talking. I want some rest so I go and turn the TV off. I lie down on the couch I am about to fall asleep when my parents come downstairs and yell at me to go outside.

I sigh and take my crutches, I hobble outside. The morning air invites me outside. I think to myself if I didn’t have to use crutches I could run around happily, the feeling of disappointment runs through my mind. Why did this have to happen to me?  As I hobble around the front yard something catches my eye. There on the driveway is a present, I nervously move closer to it. I notice it has my name on it. I open it and to my surprise inside is a special bike.

It is a great bike for me it is electric. I don’t need to push it I just have to press the start button and pedal it with my hands. There are two levers I just have to pull and push them. It is the finest present for me,I feel like I have the best parents in the world I can’t thank them enough.

As dusk slowly emerges I walk outside, ever since I got my bike my life has changed for the better. Now I can do things quickly, for example I can go in races, I can reach faraway places quickly, I can run faster than other people, I can run longer than normal. I feel better with my new bike I have the perfect present that I want.

Who would believe that my entire life could change with one special bike?
