“Just keep going”, I muttered to myself on the way up Mount Te Aroha. The paths were mucky and brown, full of damp bark. As the sound of thick water bursts in my ear, the waterfall is in clear site. I had made it up this glorious mountain. “Now there is only one way down”. I murmured to myself, as I peer of the humongous mountain. My legs were aching like they were clean off. I take a couple of steps, and SWOOSH! I slip and fell on my back. “AHHHHHHH!” Shouted the scared to death man. As slippery wet dirt carried the man down the mountain, he could see the bottom of the hill come at him like a arrow darting to its target. COBANG! The poor terrified man slapped the ground, like it was in discipline. “That was fun, but really dangerous, I’m lucky to be alive”. Said the horrified hiker.
