The sound of the wind against Jamie’s ears was deafening as he continued to fall through the sky. He managed to balance himself, much like he had seen the skydivers do on television. Before too long he had caught up with the green ball. He reached out his hand to grab it. It was just inches away. He reached a bit further then clasped his hand around it.
‘Got it!’ shouted Jamie triumphantly before he screamed, ‘AHHHHHH!!!’
Just after he retrieved the ball he looked down to see that he was just metres away from the peak of the tallest snowy mountain. He quickly pointed his finger up above his head. It was just in the knick of time. Jamie’s body immediately changed direction and was propelled, with a sharp jerk, upwards into the air.
When he was a safe enough distance above the mountain he stopped himself and hovered in the sky. It took him a few moments just to get his breath back.
‘Oh boy! That was a close one!’ said Jamie as he checked his hand to make sure the green ball, which he had so magnificently rescued, was still there. It was.
As he continued to hover he gazed down at the mountains below. Jamie could see lots of people skiing and snowboarding down the various routes and tracks marked out for them. Some people were slowly making their way down the gentle slopes, which were marked out with green poles. Others were hurtling at great speed down incredibly steep slopes marked out with black poles, which Jamie just loved to watch. They reminded him of his uncle Roger who always said, ‘…the faster you go the more fun you have!’
As Jamie continued to watch all the action below he was suddenly pulled, at great speed, down towards the snow.
‘Ahhh! What’s happening?’ he shouted.
It was the green ball that was pulling him. Jamie had no control over it and could not let go. It was as if his hand were glued onto it. As much as he tried to resist the speed at which he was dragged through the air it was no good, Jamie could not stop himself! He was pulled over one mountain peak, then round another, before he got near enough to the trees poking out the side of the next slope. In fact, he was heading straight towards a small forest of trees and was not slowing down.
‘AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!’
