My Unforgettable Experience

During the Christmas holidays, my elder brother Mark and I stayed home, and we made paper planes together. I did not know how to make one, so Mark taught me how to make paper planes. I felt quite fascinated because it was my first time making something that could fly. After making it, we decided to have a paper plane competition. I won, and I was surprised because it was just my first time participating in a paper plane competition.

This enjoyable day was also my brother Mark’s birthday. We prepared delicious food for his birthday. Dad also came home early from work and gave him a toy plane. Mark felt over the moon. I had wanted it for the longest time. At that time, I felt shocked and jealous of him.

I really wanted that toy plane, so I had a great idea that could make Mark give me his toy. Therefore, I went to Mark’s room and asked, "Can you give me your toy, and I'll give you my favorite robot?" Mark immediately shook his head. I was furious. I couldn’t contain my feelings anymore, so I grabbed Mark’s toy plane, and Mark fought back. We shouted and fought.

When the plane broke, it dropped on the floor with a "clang" sound. I screamed. I was sadder than a mouse that had nothing to eat, and I burst into tears of unhappiness. Mark was scared and very worried that he might never be able to play with the toy plane again. I thought maybe Mom would come out and punish him. Finally, Mom noticed us and punished us by assigning housework. Of course, I didn't want to do it, but my heart sank if I didn't apologize to Mark. I wouldn't feel comfortable because we were best brothers. I couldn't just end our relationship like that!

So I told Mark that I was so sorry, and Mark hugged me tightly and said, "We did something wrong today. Let’s help Mom with the housework and do our homework on time!" I agreed. I have learned that I shouldn't be jealous of someone. If I just tell my friends and family about it, they will help me. Also, I should not shout at my brothers and sisters or fight with them; that only makes me and my family feel unhappy. I should understand that my family loves me very much.
