Preparing for a Charity Concert
Last year, my school organized a charity concert. Proceeds from ticket sales were given to Happy Fun Children’s Welfare Society. Stan, Lucy and I felt that the concert was for a meaningful cause so we decided to take part in it.
We wanted to put up an acrobatic act. Stan was able to juggle very well. Lucy was able to cycle very well. I could juggle while standing on one leg. We decided to combine our talents. We practised very hard almost every day. Stan sat behind Lucy and juggled while she cycled. I stood on one leg in the middle of the stage and juggled. When Lucy reached me, she cycled around me going faster and faster. However, on our last practise before the show, my leg accidentally hit Lucy’s bicycle. She tilted slightly to the side. Stan lost his balance and slid off the bicycle. He lost control of his balls and one by one they fell to the floor like raindrops hitting the ground. Lucy accidentally cycled over one of the balls and crushed it. We created such a mess that we had to start all over again.
Our teacher rushed over to help us. She encouraged us to continue practising. She told us not to worry and that we would do well during the concert.
