A time that I had to be courage

A time that i had to be courage was when I was only 8 years old.
I got a shiny and professional bicycle which I really  from some celebration. one day my parents told me that I had to donate the bicycle who is very poor but I didn't wanted give my bicycle away so I said no. But my mom told me to think again and tell her my decision next day.

At the bed I thought about donating my bicycle to someone that I don't even know.  I was really nervous about donating my bicycle but I made a courageous decision. The decision was to donate my bicycle to other people because I felt like I was a selfish. Next morning I told my parents about donating my bicycle. My parents were surprised and also I  was surprised about my courageous decision.

When I came back from my school I realized that my bicycle was gone at that point, I felt little sad but I felt really happy and glad about my courageous decision. After few days passed, my parents told me that they have a good news for me. I asked them what the good news was. They told me that there is a new bicycle for me. Before my parents finish their word I ran out side to check if there is a new bike for me it was true I screamed in happiness. At that moment I learned that if you make a brave decision you will get better things.

What do the artifacts tell us about the lives of early humans?

There are many drawings of animals such as a bison, bull and horses running around. I think they drew this because they warship the animals. The scientists thinks that they drew the nature, hunting to remember the scene.

my hypothises is that they drew the pictures to remember the day or to warn something. For example there were a lot of foot prints of kids around the bison sculpture so that makes me think that there was a big ceremony about the kids turning into a adult was held around the sculpture. For the paints and spear thrower's top, there is a shape or paints of animals such as a bison, horses and some elephants I think they warship the animals because they might thought that the animals will protect them because the animals were strong and big.

I think this is all I can think of.
