After I returned home and told my mother what had happened,she quickly called the power company.The workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene.One of them asked if I had touched the tree,and when I told him I had,his face turned pale.
“You should have been killed,” he said.
So why am I still alive?It was my boots that saved my life.
Within two hours,the workers removed the tree.Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.
Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt,my mother was still serious.After all,I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.
Through this experience,I learn it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective.Taking time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble.It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock” of my life.
