Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition
Last week MumMum collected a billy kart from the side of the road
She spent ages fixing it up for me
Wheels and rope and a seat and she found my helmet in the garage in a box
I took it to my school for a Test Drive
The first time I asked MumMum to Hold. The. Handle. All. The. Way
Take Two
Hesitation
At first I imagined that I would crash and I would break into a million pieces and so would the billy kart and the ambulance paramedics wouldn’t be able to tell the bits of me and the bits of the billy cart apart from each other
Moving
The wheels turned. Faster and faster
My tummy ached and did flips and flops like it was on a rollercoaster and I could feel all the bumps of the hill in my bottom
My feet were steering the billy kart and suddenly I knew what to do
It was like riding in a jet in a space adventure
