The Jellyfish
By: Esteban Muñoz.

A few years ago, while I was in Coveñas, something painful happened. I still don't know what hurt me.

While I was swimming in the sea like I used to do every morning, I felt that something had stung me. In the beginning, I wasn't feeling pain so I started to find out what had stung me. I didn't see anything and while I was looking for something odd in the sea, I started to feel a strong burning in my leg. I almost couldn't move my leg but I was in the middle of the sea, so I had to come back to the beach anyway. I couldn't swim, just to move my arms.
While I was coming back to the beach, the burning became stronger. My family was concerned about me and all of them got out of the sea to help me.

As sonn as I got the beach, I saw blood gushing from two small holes in my leg. While I was resting there, a native person who was walking asked me what had happened. I told him everything and he said me that if I wanted to prevent an infection, I should pee on the hurt. I didn't know what to do, but I decided to heed the advice.

While I was going to the bathroom, I thought how disgusting it was pee on my own leg. I was a little scared so I just did it and the burning became less shtrong.

Finally, another native person told me what had stung me was probably a jellyfish and I hadn't seen nothing because it's kind of transparent. Also, he told me the most important thing was to put something hot on the hurt, like urine or SAND. Unfortunately, I had already peed on my own leg.
