Walking on Stilts

My grandfather made stilts for us when we were children. He made short ones for me. He made longer ones for my brother. He made very tall ones for my sister.

When I first used the stilts, I was very scared. Soon I learned how to walk on stilts and I wasn’t scared. After that, I was happy when my brother or sister went to a friend’s house because I could use their stilts. I really liked the tall stilts.

At the circus, I saw clowns wearing really, really tall stilts. I’ve always wanted to try walking on clown stilts.

Have you ever used stilts? Were you scared? Do you like tall stilts?

Scary Game

Dodgeball is a scary game. Many people think it is a fun game, but for me it is scary.

When I was a child, I was always the smallest in my class. I was often afraid of getting hurt.

Now I am an adult and the children at school want to play with me. They ask me to play very seriously. If I throw the ball hard, some of the students could get hurt. I never want to hurt the students, so it is very scary.

I need to throw the ball fast enough to make the game exciting, but I need to throw the ball slow enough that I don’t hurt anyone.
