A fun day at the fair
It is a sunny day. Clair and Airlie go to the fairground.
There are many rides. They see a fun ride. Its name is "Chairs
in the Air".
"Let's go on that!" says Clair, looking

up.
"Yes!" says Airlie. "We can go in a
pair of chairs."
They wait in line, and sit in two blue
chairs. They hold on. Then, very fast,
the chairs go up into the air! Airlie's
long fair hair flies in the wind. They go
up and down. It feels like flying!
"This is so fun!" Clair shouts happily.
"I like it so much!" Airlie says with
a big smile.
When the ride is over, they walk down a short stair. Their
legs feel a little weak, but they are very happy.
"This is a good day," says Clair.
"I want some ice cream now!" says Airlie.
They get their ice cream. It is cold

and sweet. They talk about the fun ride.
They like flying high in the air in their
chairs a lot. It is the best day.
