Bite My Tongue!

WALT: Sometime, about 6 years old, run along a path & it... a barrel, you know? About a piece come off... a round steel piece came off. I go on the path, & I don't see it. It's half over ground & half under. Thin metal--- 16th of an inch thick--- over dirt. I run & I trip, & I think I put my tongue out & it closes hard--- & I bit my tongue & it bleeds. Evidently, I opened my mouth & stuck my tongue out, & when I hit the ground, it closed on my tongue! Put handkerchief into mouth, & I run uphill & I don't know how to do it. Fence--- 6 feet tall! But I jumped it! Got home, went to drugstore. Pull handkerchief out & it bleeds again. Something stopped it & I don't know after that. I don't know now. Then 6 years old... 83 now!!!
