A girl with orange hair and blue eyes was a circus performer
Her name was Lilly. She was an acrobat. She loved to twist and turn. Once she was about to go on stage on a blue ribbon.
She was not nervous because she had done it heaps of times.
It was time for her to preform on the ribbon. She was up high, trying to look at the crowd while she was on the ribbon. She started to slip and slide down the ribbon, she fell like a strike of lightning, she called out to the other circus performers, they were to late..........
