The Best Present I've Ever Gotten

Although I've gotten a lot of great presents, the best I've ever gotten was the one my grandma got me for my 10th birthday.It was a grey remote-controlled car.

It wasn't exactly a car. It was a huge four-wheeler. I remember how excited I got when I first saw it and how happy I felt when I first played with it. I didn't expect to get such an awesome present. All my cousins and the kids in my neighborhood were jealous of me and they would always ask me if they could play with it. Sometimes I let the other kids use it, but I always did it half-heartedly because i didn't find it easy to share.

I loved to play with it on the dirt. Every weekend, I used to go to my uncle's farm and I would always take my remote-controlled four-wheeler to play with it in the muddiest place I could find. When I was home, I would build circuits with books, DVDs, boxes or anything I could find around me. I played with it for hours and hours and, therefore, I would have to charge the battery several times a day.

I had to charge the battery so many times that, one day, it stopped working. It lasted me a year or two. I didn't feel too bad about it but I still felt a little sad because it was special for me. Now, 7 years later, I still have it.
