Before I tell you about my adventure with my cousin on a very hot summer day, I want to introduce my cousin to you. My cousin's name is Defne and she is at the same age as me. Since our houses are in different cities, we can only meet in the holidays. Sometimes I go to their house to stay there and sometimes she comes to our house to stay.

In this summer holiday I went to my cousin’s house to stay one week and our adventure started. Today was the 23rd of July and today was the longest and the hottest day of the summer. We were so bored with sitting at home and thought about what to do. Then we decided to go outside. We went out after my aunt gave us our hats and water. Outside was really hot. Many people wore hats like us. We were thinking about what to do while walking. Then my uncle came to our mind. My uncle has got a butcher’s and on these hot days, many people go for a picnic and of course, many people buy meat for the barbecue while going to a picnic, so my uncle is working hard and tired on such days. So we decided to go near my uncle to help him. As the weather was very hot, we almost finished our water. When we went to the butcher's, the butcher's was really crowded. I saw my uncle and we said: “We came to help you.” And he became very happy. Then he told us to carry the meat from the cold storage to meat rayon. The cold storage is my favorite place in this butcher's because it is very cold in here and when I enter through the door of the cold storage, I like the cold air coming on my face. When my uncle opened the door of the cold storage, cold air suddenly came to my face and this made me very cool and relaxed. We took the meat from cold storage to carry. Even the meat was very cold. We helped my uncle to carry the meat from cold storage for about an hour. When my uncle noticed that we were tired, he gave us money to buy ice cream for ourselves. We went to the market quickly to buy ice cream. As the weather was very hot, our ice cream started to melt immediately. Then an idea came to our mind: we can eat our ice creams in cold storage. Our ice cream can't melt there because it was so cold. When we entered the butcher's, there were still many people in the butcher's.  My uncle was very busy. We did not say that "we came" to him not disturb my uncle and we entered the cold storage. We ate our ice cream and played there a little bit. When we started to feel cold, we went to the door to get out of here but the door was closed. When we came there we didn’t close the door. We tried to open the door but it wasn’t opening. We shouted, screamed and hit on the door for my uncle to hear us but he didn’t hear us. It was so cold that we started shivering and scared. About fifteen minutes later, my uncle came to take meat and he opened the door. He was very scared when he saw that we were shivering because of the cold. He immediately took us out of there and gave us a blanket. My uncle really seemed very worried about us. After warming, he asked why we entered there and we told him.  After we got home, we started to sneeze and we had a fever so my uncle took us to hospital and they had an injection to us. This event became a funny memory for us except the injection part.
