The Flying Kiwi


The Flying Kiwi

My heart was pounding as my harnesses clicked tight around me. They pulled me up. Be brave, be brave I thought as I got higher and higher off the ground.

 When I got to the top I looked down, I couldn't believe it! Everyone looked as big as thimbles! 3, 2, 1 drop! I dropped the rubber toy chicken and tried to get it into the purple hula hoop; I got it in the hoop unfortunately the toy chicken bounced because the hoop was on the ground. Then I tried to get the flipper in the hoop but I got nowhere near the hoop because I was spinning around. I didn't feel scared anymore.

As I was lowered down I kept on thinking I wish I could do that again, but everyone needs a turn. When I got to the bottom my chest harness was taken off and I joined the end of the line. It was hard work pulling everyone up but I knew it was like this when they were pulling me up.

 If I could, I would go back to Wainui just to do the flying kiwi again.
