memory

As he lay defeated in the pit of balls, Willie was suddenly stuck with a memory from his childhood.
It was a warm summer day. Pleasant and dry. One of those lazy days that you sleep in really late on. His family had decided to stroll over to the passing carnival that was in town. Little grasshoppers jumped out of the way as Willie walked down the path along the side of finch point which was overgrown with weeds and other long grasses at the time. They got to the carnival, paid for their tickets, and entered. First up, the ball pit. Willie and his younger brother Albert jumped in with glee. After a few moments, Willie noticed that he had touched something that was not a plastic. He abruptly got up and yelled at Albert to do the same but it was too late. Albert had already found the 3 foot, venomous snake that Willie brushed with his hand. Albert was holding it and shaking it like was a toy. The snake turned on itself and sunk its fangs in to Alberts forearm. Willies mother screeched in horror.
