Teaching Kiran to Ride
My little brother, Kiran, turned seven last month. He got a shiny green bike for his birthday. There was just one problem. He did not know how to ride it.
On Saturday, Dad asked me to help. I took Kiran to the empty parking lot behind the library. I held the back of his seat while he pedaled. "Don't let go, Saanvi!" he shouted. His voice sounded shaky. I think he was scared, but he didn't say so.
We went around the lot again and again. My arms got tired, and my sneakers rubbed my heels. Still, I kept jogging beside him. I remembered how Dad helped me when I was seven.
On the tenth try, Kiran was pedaling smoothly. I let go of the seat very quietly. He rode all the way to the lamp post by himself! I clapped and cheered.
Kiran looked back and saw me standing far behind him. His mouth fell open. Then he wobbled and put his feet down. I couldn't tell if he was angry or proud. I held my breath.
Then he grinned. "I did it!" he yelled. "Let's go again!"
I felt proud of him, and a little proud of myself, too.
