Childhood story

When I was quite young, I did something silly one day.
First, I should explain what  my family was like when I was 5 years old, I have one brother and one sister, they are older than me, they were 10 and 15 years old respectively at the time.
My brother enjoyed playing tricks on me, he used to simulate injuries on his hands or arms with ketchup to scare me. Always he made me cry because I didn’t like blood sometimes he  even scared my mother too, He was very annoying, until I got used to his jokes and I didn’t pay attention.

One day, while he was playing in the garden, he tried to touch our tortoise, suddenly the small animal bit  his finger hard and it didn’t let him go. He screamed and I went to help him, but when I saw his finger bleeding, I supposed that it was a joke so I went to my bedroom without saying anything. Some minutes later my sister saw him crying and she went running to warn my parents.

Finally, my mother scolded me and they took my brother to emergency where a doctor helped him.

Hello Ana, 

I think your mother probably scolded you because she was worried about your brother, she must have heard the story about the boy who cried wolf!

There are a few corrections, 'blood' is the noun but the verb is 'to bleed'. You 'tell sb a joke' (a funny story) but you 'play a trick (sometimes a 'prank') on someone'.

Hope this helps
