Telling a short personal story = anecdote

September  9th
A short personal story: Guama


When I was around 7, I went to a field with some of my cousins. There were many guama trees. So we decided we had to eat some guama. Since I was the youngest, they "ordered" me to climb up the tree. I climbed up the guama tree and picked many large guama. They all were so focused on eating guama, that didn't realize when I fell off the tree.

A short personal story
I was 8 years old and I was so happy because my parents gave me my own house keys. They both worked, so when I finish school I could go home, get in and enjoy the afternoon. Well, that day I finished school at 2pm, it was raining very heavy. I ran to my house, got there all wet. Then I realized I didn't have my house keys with me. I cried. I had to wait, in front of my house, until my parents came back at 7pm.
