"Once bitten twice shy” is an old saying. In my case, it became a literal truth.
When I was a youngster,I was known for my naughty nature. I got great joy from playing tricks on others. In addition, I had an unusual fondness for running after cats and used a handmade catapult (弹弓) to shoot at birds on the trees. My parents disapproved of these activities and would frequently criticize me for the trouble I caused. Occasionally, my father would even give a sound spanking(打屁股)as a punishment.
Despite the criticism from my parents, I always felt that my tricks were free of any real risk. I was always careful to ensure that my behaviors did not cause any harm to others. In fact, I viewed these tricks as a way for me to explore and understand the world around me. I believe that my ability to control the level of trick and avoid causing any significant harm was what allowed me to continue with my behaviors, even in the face of my parents' criticism. So I did not mend my ways until this incident.
I had just finished lunch at home and I was feeling very bored. My brothers and sisters,all of them older than I, had not returned home from school. I decided to walk around the neighborhood and I brought my trusty catapult with me.
Soon,I came to Mr. Lingam's house. His pet dog, a Giant Schnauzer , was tied to a post outside his house. I looked around and saw that no one was in sight. I decided to make good use of my catapult and picked a few small stones from the ground and aimed at the dog. A few of the stones hit the poor dog and it began to howl in pain. Eventually, the dog's anger was aroused and it began barking fiercely at me while it struggled against the ropes to free itself. I laughed at the dog, feeling amused by my cruel deed.
Para1:Suddenly, the rope broke and the dog was free.
Para2:I related the incident to the doctor and Mr. Lingam.

小时候,我因调皮捣蛋而出名。我很喜欢捉弄别人。另外,我还有一种不寻常的喜好,那就是追着猫咪并用自制的弹弓射击树上的鸟儿。我的父母不赞成这些行为,经常因我造成的麻烦批评我。
