The Hot Air Balloon Ride

                                       The Hot Air Balloon Ride

She pulled down on the chain with her left hand, steering herself towards her target. It was supposed to be the most exciting birthday present ever; a hot air balloon ride.However,Alice had been holding on for dear life for over 100km.(since the basket of the hot air balloon had fallen off).She was now getting used to steering the huge balloon by manoeuvring her body,leaning to the left or to the right.

Terrified yet excited at the same time,Alice could just make out her house and garden far below. It was surrounded by trees straight ahead,wasn’t it? She took a deep breath and focused on holding onto the rope to keep her alive.

Alice was terrified that she would fall onto the ground and her pretty brown hair would be ruined .The hot air balloon started spinning really fast because the balloon popped. Alice was starting to get dizzy.The balloon was spinning it was uncontrollable to handle, she was heading towards the ground but then the balloon went up as she was able to touch the clouds.Alice's balloon fell onto the ground in a village filled with trees all the people in the village herd a big “THUMP” they went to the scene and saw Alice. The people in the village spoke a different language than her so Alice tried to show what happened to her.Everyone saw a helicopter. It was a police helicopter they were looking for Alice because she went missing.

  The police have her parents with them. They were so glad to see Alice and that she only had a little bruising. The people didn’t know what was happening so one of the police translated and told them what was happening. The people surprised Alice with a cake from the best baker in the world for her birthday. It was rainbow inside with chocolate frosting in the middle. They all enjoyed the cake and now they are going to fly to the hospital to have a check up. The next day Alice woke up and she was still in the balloon she passed out when the balloon hit the ground she had dreamed all of that stuff. Alice was sad that none of the things in her dream happened in real life. She is in a meadow with butterflies everywhere she was just able to see her house with a tree carving.

She was walking through the meadow and it was so beautiful she had never seen anything like it. Alice was grateful that she only got a few broken bones. She thinks it is because the butterflies brought her good luck so she didn’t get hurt when she fell. Alice said to herself this is the best birthday ever. Her parents found her with a tracking device that they had put in her pocket before she went on the balloon and asked her what happened. Alice way saying “I had a big crash and I made lots of butterfly friends Mum and  Dad” it has been a good day”.Alice’s Parents looked at her and said” It was the best day of your life you crashed in a meadow”.”Yes, I did with butterflies” Alice said. I think we should go to the hospital. Alice said I have broken my arm.

Alice was so grateful that she only had a few broken bones. She is glad that she is alive. Alice is going to be in the hospital for three more weeks to recover from her injuries. Alice said to herself “I am safe here and I am never going on a Hot Air Balloon for the next three years”.
