With a roar the hot air balloon car failed to start because of the
depressing rainy day. Grandad Tom and Granddaughter Ellcie
were going on a Sunday drive, well that's what they think.
Finally the car starts and their Sunday drive begins. It starts
off awkward because they hadn’t seen each other since before
World War II. Finally Grandad Tom breaks the silence
“So Ellcie what's been happening” he say awkwardly"
“ Um well nothing really” she replied shyly.
As they drove along the road they felt a little airborne. That's
when they realise that they are getting higher and higher in the
air and fast. Some doves flew onto the bonnet of the car
“Aaaarrrrgggghhhh” screamed Grandad Tom.
That's when another problem appears Ellcie notices that the
old car is out of control and going from side to side. By now they
are above the clouds. Ellcie say in her head, “Gee Grandad is
very quiet,” she looks over to him and see him fast asleep. She
thought in her head “why would he be asleep” and then it came
to her he’s dead.
“No he can’t be” she said in disbelief. She then looked at his
stomach to her relief he wasn’t dead because he was breathing
his stomach was going up and down. Ellcie thought some more
“ Oh I know, he passed out” she said aloud.
Ellcie thought some more then she thought of the doves and how
he screamed he must have passed out because he got so scared.
Ellcie shoke her grandad so hard that he woke up. She then took
hold of the wheel and asked
“Hey grandad you ok”
“Yeh” he said tiredly.
“Do you know what happened grandad?” she asked
“No do you?” he replied.
“Not really” she said.
“How are we going to get down?” Grandad asked.
“I think I have an idea” Ellcie replied.
Ellcie quickly looked around the car for something sharp,
“there's nothing” she said.
She asked her grandad if he had anything sharp his reply was
a no. She opened the glove box and right there was a pair of
scissors. She grabbed them and asked
“Why do you keep scissors in your car?”
“Oh you know just in case we get stuck up in the sky higher than the
clouds” he says.
“Okaaaaaayyyy” she replies
Anyway she stabs the balloon with the scissors and they slowly start
going down. When they get to the ground Ellcie says
“ Grandad I think I will go on more Sunday drives will you”
“Yeh that would be nice” Grandad replies.
