Story 14. Open Your Eyes
My grandpa always says, The world is a beautiful place if you just open your eyes.
Now I know what he means.
One time, my friend's family invited me to go with them for a balloon ride.
We all got in the basket.
Then we started to lift off the ground.
I got scared and closed my eyes.
When I opened one eye, I saw the trees below us.
I quickly shut my eyes again.
Suddenly, my friend yelled, Look!
A huge flock of geese was flying right by us.
For a while, we blew right along with them.
It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
It was an amazing sight.
Just imagine.
All I had to do was open my eyes.
Good advice, Grandpa.
