Nervous Activity 3: Miracle on the Hudson The time I was brave was when a chair landed on my big toe and made the toe nail nearly come out, I cried. My mum said that I was brave because we had to drive 42 km to get to the hospital then wait 2 hours to see the Doctor and I did not cry even though I was in so much pain. When they fixed my toe by putting the toe nail back in I was brave and did not cry or anything.
