Confession of Bufonophobia (Fear of toads)
It was a sad thing that i will became a person who has Bufonophobia. When i was in primary school, the school has a trip to a toad farm. I thought it will be fun, catching toads. I went to school happily. Teacher took our attendance when we were in the bus waiting to leave school. When we reached the toad farm, we lined up in two and waited for the rest of the classes to reach. My friends and i were very excited about the trip. We can’t wait to see the toads. When everyone reached, classes by classes when into the farm. We were asked to catch toads and complete with other classes. The classes with more toads win.
My class teacher told us to catch one toad at least. The toads were placed in a big container, and some toads will jump out of the container. Many of the girls are scared of toads, of cause me too! When it was my turn to catch toad, i was so nervous that i did not dare to stand near the container. But all my friends encourage me to try. I dare myself to catch the toad. At first, i place my hand on one of the toad, but the toad jump out of my hand. I try to catch the toad again and place it to my class container.
Our class did won for the game. But the first touch of the toad was disgusting. And i told myself that i would never ever go to a toad farm again. Now that i see a toad, i will run as far as i can. [ 276 words ]
