Healed after a fall

It was the season when mangoes are ripe, and I was looking forward to eating some. In the subdivision where I lived, there was a tall mango tree, and one morning I saw two ripe mangoes on one of its highest branches. I decided to climb the tree and pick the fruit.

I was very close to the fruit and almost ready to take it, but as soon as I put my foot on the tallest branch, I felt that something was wrong and it would probably not hold me. So I quickly moved my hand to grab another branch in close proximity, but it broke and I fell. As I was falling, branches cut my lips and my back, and they also hit me hard, especially my back. As I landed on the ground, I fainted.

The neighbors called my father, who immediately brought me into the house. My father began praying for me. When I woke up and was alert, I agreed to have my father continue Christian Science treatment for me.
