Maddie and Her Big Adventure By: Elenore T.
Today was Maddie’s special day. Maddie had bought a hot air balloon the day before. She decided to go on an adventure. As she got out of bed and had breakfast, she got some supplies for the long journey. She packed some food, water, and some scuba gear just in case. As she went outside and set up her hot air balloon, she made sure she had everything she needed. When the hot air balloon was all ready for some exploring, she got inside and started going up in the air.
“This is so cool!” Maddie said, looking at the view she had. As she was in the sky, she saw birds flying past her. She admired the sky above her, and felt the cool breeze of wind in her face. “This is the best day ever!” Maddie said, screaming happily.
As Maddie was in the air, she noticed that something was wrong with the balloon. She noticed that it was running out of fuel! She quickly took control of the balloon but saw that the balloon was out of control! “Oh no!” Maddie said, noticing that the balloon was running out of fuel. “I have to get this balloon to some land fast!” Maddie tried to steer the balloon to land, but she realized that there was only clear open ocean waters beneath her. Maddie was running out of time. She had no other choice but to let the balloon land in the water!
As Maddie let the balloon drift away into the sea, she was glad that she had brought supplies with her. She was even happier that she brought some scuba diving gear. “What a coincidence!� Maddie said, quickly putting on the gear. While the balloon was just a few feet away from the sea, she jumped into the cool, salty water.
As Maddie was in the clear, open sea waters, she saw beautiful colored fish. She also saw bright colored coral and bright green seagrass. “This is amazing!� Maddie thought, admiring the beautiful things around her. While she was looking for land, she saw a shark a few feet away from her. Maddie observed the fascinating creature, and saw it swim away.
As Maddie kept swimming, she finally found land. “Finally!” Maddie thought, swimming up to shore. “I made it!” Maddie said, walking on the warm, white sand. “This really was an adventure!” And Maddie walked back home, thinking about the most amazing time she had.
