I was at the school over the summer. I was with Phineas, and some of the other guys who were at the school. We went for a walk and came above the huge tree. Phineas wanted to climb the large tree and jump of it into the river, which we all knew was forbidden. "No one but Phineas could think up such a crazy idea" (6). The tree was, "Tremendus, an irate, steele black steeple beside the river" (6).Then Phineas stipped out of his clothes and leaped up the tree and climbed up on to a limb which over hung the river. He then jumped and crashed in to the water, we were amused by the leap that he had just conquered. I was up next, i stripped down and climbed the tree just as Finny had. When i got to the top i could not help but admire the view i felt as though i had such prestiege beign so high above the ground. The branch was not as I thought it was, "It was more slenderer than it looked from the ground and much higher"(9). I then sprang off the branch making sure i got far enough from the shore not to tuch down in the shallow water. I hit the water and my feet hit the soft mud and i was fine. I felt a great rush right after that. Then we went to the dormitories and got in to our pahjamas. "But Phineas who heard they were unmilitary, didn't" (13).
