It's fall. The color of sky is clear transparent deep-blue.
The blue is limitlessly high, silent and pure. When someone
looks at the sky, he somehow feels like flying. I had an
experience that I flew by myself.
When I was young, before I entered elementary school, I
believed that I could fly by myself. One day, I determined to
test myself. It was a brief experience but I'll never forget that
I flew without the aid of a piece of equipment.
My house was a two-story building and my family lived
at the second floor. The first floor was rented out. It was one
day in fall. The sky was exceptionally high and clear. I was
enjoying looking at the sky from the second floor. Seeing
clouds floating in the peaceful sky, I felt an urge to fly like
them. The balcony was about four meters from the ground.
But I didn't fear the height. On the contrary, I said to my
self; " Jump down! Don't you want to fly? Like Superman,
like the birds flying there, you can also fly. Believe in your
self. "
When I was a child, I believed that I had ultra powers
like Superman's. I don't know why I had this belief. Maybe, it
was just hope deep inside a child. What more explanation is
needed? Anyway, I didn't doubt my capability. I bravely
jumped down from the balcony.
Stretching my arms like Superman, I jumped down. I was
flying. Feeling the fresh air around me, I was flying. Actually,
I was falling to the ground, but I thought I was flying. After
a few seconds, I landed on the ground. I couldn't stand up.
My left arm was broken. Someone brought me to a hospital.
I'm still alive. Though it was a dangerous attempt, I am
satisiefly, that I flew like the birds in the sky.
The sky in fall is still high, broad, and pure.
