Jackson was walking home from school one afternoon when his untied shoelaces(鞋带) caught his foot. He almost fell. He put down his backpack and tied them.
Eva and Dave were riding down the other side of the street. Suddenly, Dave stopped and pointed.
“Whoa! Did you see that?” he asked. “Jackson just totally fell down there!”
“Oh, no! Is he okay?” asked Eva.
“It looks like he hurt his knee.”
Just as they were still talking about this, Mandy caught up with them. “What are you guys talking about?” she asked.
“Jackson just fell and hurt his knee,” said Eva.
“Was he bleeding(流血)?” asked Mandy.
The story began to spread. Within an hour, Kevin heard the whole story. “Jackson got hit by a car on his way home. There was blood everywhere, and he was sent to the hospital.”
That night, Oliver got more information. “
▲ He doesn’t even remember anything about the accident! He won’t be at school for at least four weeks.”
The next morning, everybody at school was talking about Jackson.
“Lucky Jackson,” Maya said. “He gets to miss so much school.”
“The poor guy can’t even move, and you think he’s lucky?” said Kathy.
Bob shook his head sadly. “He was so good at football—What if he can never play again?”
“Maybe we should send him a card or visit him in the hospital,” suggested Bill.
“Will he even remember us?” asked Gina.
“I can’t believe he lost his memory!” Lisa cried.
Just then, Jackson came around the corner and walked over to Gina and Lisa. “Hey, guys, what’s going on?” he asked.
Everyone stopped talking and stared(盯着看) at him.
