The Big Balloon
One day, my family went to a big picnic in the park.There were lots
of people there.The best part was watching a man give rides in a big,
beautiful hot air balloon. He loaded a basket with smiling people and
floated high into the sky. My little sister really wanted to take a ride in
that balloon! She begged my mother to let her ride,
but she was too young. She had to be 12 years old
to ride in the balloon. Instead, my father bought a
little red balloon for my sister. It wasn’t a big hot air
balloon, but she liked it anyway.
