Text 14It happened one weekend while I was at the fairground. I was with my friend Sarah and we were both really excited. The
flashing lights and bright colors made everything appear magical. We were having a great time and we had been on
most of the rides when Sarah pointed to the big wheel. The sign said "$1 for a two-minute ride".
At first I wasn't sure, but Sarah had been on it before. "It only takes two minutes," she said. "Come on- it's a really
thrilling ride!" A minute later we were in the air. It was like flying! "This is amazing!" I shouted happily to Sarah.
Then suddenly, there was a loud crash and everything stopped. I was really frightened! Sarah held my hand tightly
because she was worried, too. We looked down and saw two mechanics. "Don't worry," they shouted. "It won't take us
long to fix it!" So we waited...and waited! At first we were amused. Everyone was running around below us. After a while
though, it became scary up there.
Two hours later, the wheel finally started to move again. I was so happy. It had been a long tiring evening. That two-
minute ride had turned into a two-hour nightmare!
