My older brother had a band-aid on his forehead when I saw him, but he asked how I was first.My dad was very angry when he found out what happened. He wanted to get back at them to feel better, but Aecus and mom stopped him. The people who threw the stones were already caught. All of us, except my dad, were okay with the news.Kinuha ko ang basong may lamang tubig, sinubo ang vitamins at nilunok kasabay ng aking pag-inom. I just woke up this morning.
