Tree Climbing | 木登り

1こわい。
2おりれなくなっていた。ひとりでのぼったんだね。こわい、これいじょう上いったらおれるから。さかになっているからおちたらしにはしないけどバン!とゴーとおちる。
1This is scary.
2I couldn’t get down. I climbed up by myself but it was scary. If I had gone up any further the branch would’ve broken. It’s a slope so if I fell I wouldn’t have died but I would’ve landed with a pretty big thump!
