One Wild Ride!
The Alvarez family parked their car near an open field. Hugo carried a picnic basket, and his mother and sister carried backpacks filled with items they would need for their ride. Hugo’s father was checking on the hot-air balloon. Mr. Alvarez just got his pilot’s license, and he was taking his family on their first balloon ride!
The family piled into the large basket. Once they were safely inside, the balloon started rising up, up, and away!
“Wow! This is the coolest flying machine I’ve ever seen!” Hugo grinned.
Mom laughed. “I think I left my stomach on the ground!”
“Look!” Eva pointed. “I think we’re headed toward that mountain.”
Mr. Alvarez had just guided the balloon over the mountain when suddenly, a thick fog surrounded them.
“It’s hard to see!” shouted Mr. Alvarez. “This could be a serious problem. It’s critical that I try to land the balloon.”
“I see land ahead!” shouted Hugo.
At that moment, the family heard a ripping sound, and
the basket landed on the ground with a plop.
“Is everyone all right?” asked Mr. Alvarez.
The fog lifted and everyone looked around.
“Where are we?” asked Hugo. “All of the plants are huge! I think we landed on another planet!”
Mrs. Alvarez chimed in, “Let’s get out of here quickly.
If the plants are this big, I don’t want to know what the animals look like!”
Eva opened her backpack. “We have tape in the first-aid kit, and Mom always carries a sewing kit. I think we can repair the balloon.”
Mr. Alvarez nodded. “Excellent!”
Hugo pointed. “Look, a giant Yucca tree. If we run out of food, we can eat its fruit!”
“You’re very resourceful,” said Mrs. Alvarez. “Keep thinking of things we may need in case we’re here for a while.”
Mrs. Alvarez and Eva made the repairs while Mr. Alvarez and Hugo looked for wood to build a fire.
“Dad, here is some dried Yucca. This wood is great for a fire,” said Hugo.
The family sat around the fire and ate lunch. Soon, they heard a strange howl in the distance.
“It’s time to get out of here,” Mr. Alvarez declared.
The family quickly put out the fire got back in the air. Mr. Alvarez sighed with relief. He carefully steered the balloon away from the enormous plants.
“It looks like smooth sailing from here!” shouted Hugo.
