Last January the New Year began on Thursday. I shall never forget that day because I almost died of fright.My brother and I were walking down the road， followed by the dog. I was carrying a cake to a friend. My brother is a football fan， he carried a ball in hand.A car came toward us. I thought that both the dog and my brother were safe， but suddenly the ball fell off my brother's hand and rolled to the middle of the road. Our dog ran after the ball. My brother ran to save our dog. Luckily the driver saw this， and was able to stop the car in time.How pleased I was！ Maybe our dog wanted to get the ball back for he often helps my brother.
