Have you ever
thought of how you can know if a person cares about you or not among people?
Everyone in this world has family, relatives, and friends. Each one of them,
indeed, cares about someone in a certain way. However, some people aren’t aware
or able to see that care clearly. In addition, people can take another way of
looking at this care which is looking at other’s behaviors. In other words,
people can see what a person is doing for them whether behind or front of their
face. I have seen this conception in my grandma’s behavior on our farm.
One day, my family and I had a
camping trip on our farm. We had this trip once every blue moon, so it was
crucial for us when it came. We took the road heading to our farm. When we
arrived there, everyone got excited because we knew for sure that we would have
lots of fun there. On our farm, we have this giant sophisticated gate, which
would open by a remote control from my uncle’s car. When I entered the farm, I
saw a long path that leads me to our place in which my family and I would camp.
In addition, on the sides of the path, we have many kinds of trees, so it could
give us nice shade over the path; furthermore, one of these trees has the
ability to thwart mosquitoes from flying around the farm by releasing some kind
of aroma. Also, among these trees, there are small paths which lead us to our animals
that we have, such as cows, chickens, and camels. While we are on the path, we always turn off
the air conditioner and open the windows, for we can smell many kinds of
flowers all over our farm, which can give the farm a notable aroma. After all
of these scenes, we will be there where we camp.
After we arrived to the camping
place, we parked our cars in front of our swimming pool that had just completed.
Then we started setting up our needs.
Who was there from my family were three of my uncles, mom, my aunt and
her kids, my grandparents. Furthermore, everyone started doing his job; my
uncles obviously started doing the hard jobs, such as setting up the tent and
preparing the fire in order to have the BBQ. On the other side of my family, my
mom and my aunt started preparing the food, such as washing chickens from its
blood and cutting vegetables. It is notable that we did not let my grandparents
make any because we wanted them to get relaxed and rested as much as they
needed. While my family members were doing their job, I was the person preparing
the relaxing environment for my grandparents by setting up the coffee and putting
down the carpet so they could sit dawn and rest because of the long trip; It
took about two hour to get to the farm, and it is well-known that the orderly
people will get exhausted.
Then “the fun part came for me,” which I
always take a tour on our farm so I can see if there is anything new that I
have not seen before. After I finished my job, I went back on the same path
that leads us to the camping place. While I was walking back and looking at the
trees on the sides, I saw this tree that attracted me and looked familiar to
me, but I did not see it in our farm; therefore, I took a step further to see
what it was. When I came in closer, I realized it was a mulberry tree. I love
any kind of fruit which has a sour taste; in fact, I had this brilliant happy
smile, and with excitement I took a big bucket and started gathering some mulberries.
Besides, a precarious event came while I was collecting some mulberries.
Whenever I moved my feet, I heard this scary sound, which was like hissing or
like the sound of breath when someone is whispering to you. At the same moment,
I felt like I would forfeit my rights of staying alive if I did not turn around
and see where the sound was coming from because it was so quiet and peaceful before
the sound started to be released. When I turned my back, I looked down, and I
saw that blatant venomous snake, which I could not endure looking at. Just right after I realized it was a snake, I
started running like mad and screaming, and I couldn’t even salvage my
collection of mulberries. When I arrived to my family, I told them about it and
at the same time I was talkative because I was so terrified. What would
happened when my grandma is not there is they just tell me to let it go and
forget about what I have seen, but my grandma pounced and hugged me. She pulled
me and said “take me to where I saw the snake” She was very jittery and she ran
with me like a grown healthy women. It was abnormal to me looking at my grandma
standing with me like that. She took a sharp stick to kill the snake, and I
leaded her to where I saw the snake; it was still there. My grandma started
hitting the snake violently and said “Do not come close to Khalid again ever,”
I was close to cry. After she killed the snake, she hugged me again and told me
that I should be resilient next time.
In short, among whether our family,
friends, or relatives, we can see how much they care about us from their
actions, which sometimes be abnormal to us. For instance, my grandma’s action
showed how much she cares about me when she went to kill the snake just for me
and because I was threatened. What I learned is that when someone says I care
about you, you should say show me, don’t tell me because the action makes the
words more efficient.
