El Brazo Fracturó - The Fractured Arm

arm broken

Español - Spanish

Fue un día caliente del verano cuándo Yo montaba mi bicicleta para ir a trabajar. Tenía mucho cuidado. Paraba en los semáforos cuándo estaban rojos y miraba a ambos lados(todos lados) antes de cruzar las calles. Cuándo yo crucé la calle, un camión negro se atravesó la luz roja y me atropelló.  Me caí al suelo y me fracturé el brazo. Una ambulancia vino y me llevó al hospital. Tenía mucho dolor. El médico me tomó radiografías en mi brazo. Despues me puso un yeso en mi brazo y lo usé por seis meses.
