I was stung on my forearm by a wasp while I was sweeping the garden. There was a little wasps' nest on an avocado leaf in my garden. It was a house of about four wasps. This kind of bees are known as bellicose, aggressive warriors. And I accidentally stirred up them when I touched the leaf and immidiately felt a pain on my forearm. I automatically waved my arm constantly and run away when seeing some wasps flied out from their nest. It's the first time I was stung by a wasp. Although that feeling was not comfortable at all (It's more painful than getting an injection), I also felt rather excited in that event. Maybe I tried to comfort myself by making a possitive feeling. The wasp gifted me a little red hole on my forearm as if a shot of injection but the kind of needle for drawing blood. I regconized some clear liquid like water on the hole. Maybe that was the wasp's poison. I hurriedly ran into my house and wash my forearm under a faucet and then dried it by a towel. Next, I rub a little oil on the sting and continued sweeping. However, the pain was not able to prevent me from peeping into the wasps' nest some times to watch those who attracted me with curious eyes. Acttually, they just attract when they feel the danger. The pain was gone after an hour. But the next day, my forearm was a little bit swollen. On the third day after the accident, the swelling was down, but I felt itchy around the sting. Now, everything is almost go back to normal. It's quiet interesting to observe that process. Although, this event is rather interesting, I'm sure I don't want to experience again. It's lucky for me when there was only wasp attracted me, unless I could have died with many stings on my body. I should be more careful when working in the garden.

Hi Quynh. This was a great, very detailed description of this event! I wanted to write a few comments after the corrections, but italki's 2000 character limit stopped me from typing them. So, I will submit a second correction that has those comments.
