Once a little boy went shopping with his mother. They went up the hill to the market and
bought some carrots. He put them in his moms cart. When they left the store, he got
in the cart so that his mom could push him home. He totally forgot about the hill.
"Watch out for the hill!" yelled his mom. Down went the boy, the
cart was going crazy. It was rolling while the boy was screaming, "AAAAAA!" Then
all of the sudden he wasnt that scared anymore. He pretended he was a race car
driver and people were cheering while he raced down the track.
Then, suddenly he hit a rock and flew up into the air! He did a flip and
landed on the telephone line. "Im a tight rope walker at the circus," he
thought. People were cheering as he walked along and did flips on the rope. Then, when he
was doing his final flip he fell off the wire.
Down, down he went. As he fell he could see water below him. He imagined he
was a cliff diver plunging into the water below. When he came up for air, he saw a large
rock next to him. He decided to climb up on it to take a break.
