Jamie had dreamed of going on his very own snowboarding adventure ever since he first heard his uncle Roger tell him about his great skiing adventures. Jamie loved to hear about the snowboarders in particular, how do they stand up on one piece of board? Do they fall over? How fast can they go? These were just a few of the many questions Jamie would ask his uncle. Then, as Jamie gazed at the board that lay in the snow before him, the mouse spoke up, ‘Go on then! Are you gonna put it on or what?’
‘You mean right now?’ replied Jamie.
‘Of course right now! There’s no use standing around catching a chill,’ said the mouse.
‘Okay, I’ll do it!’ said Jamie who now had a real excitement about him.
‘I’ll give you a hand,’ said the mouse.
Before long Jamie was strapped in to his very own snowboard. It was the same colour green as his trousers and jacket. It almost looked as though the board was part of his body.
‘Alrighty! Are you ready?’ asked the mouse.
‘Erm… I.. I’m not sure,’ replied Jamie rather hesitantly.
‘Well you’d better be, ‘cos off you go!’
With those words the small mouse used a surprising amount of strength to push Jamie off the edge and straight down the slope.
‘NOT AGAIN!!!’ shouted Jamie as, for the second time today, a small creature had pushed him into the unknown!
