A Green Balloon

A Green Balloon

A few days ago, a green balloon floated by my window. I rushed to the window to see what was happening. Far below, a small child was crying in the street as his mother attempted to comfort him.

I ran downstairs, out the front door and around the corner to Fred’s Toy Shop. “Quick, have you got any green balloons?” I asked.

Fred sold me one and I dashed out of the shop to find the child and his mother. I gave him the balloon. He burst into tears again.

“He didn’t like that colour the first time,” she said.
