Answer: It was a bright sunny morning. I was going to college with some of my friends. We were in a hilarious mood as we were talking about our plan to go on a picnic. Suddenly, we heard a loud screech followed by a thud. Everyone froze for a second, turning to see a small dog in the middle of the road, trembling with fear. A speeding car had just missed hitting it, but the driver didn’t bother to stop. The poor animal was too stunned to move. While others hesitated, unsure of what to do, I instinctively ran toward the dog. My heart pounded as I approached, dodging oncoming traffic.

“Be careful!” one of my friends shouted, but I was already crouched down, gently scooping up the little dog. Its tiny body shivered in my arms, and I could feel its heartbeat racing. The relief in its eyes was enough to make my risky dash worth it. My friends cheered as I carried the dog to safety. A local shopkeeper offered water, and soon the dog calmed down. We decided to take it to a nearby shelter before continuing to college.

That day, the picnic plan was postponed, but we gained a new perspective: sometimes, it takes a bold act of kindness to make a sunny morning truly unforgettable.
