Holiday Story 1

Back when the mountains were colder and when winter would arrive right on Christmas; there was a boy named Red. Just like he name he loved the colour red, his room, his clothes and even his eyes and hair were red. He had a burning passion for snowboarding ever since his family moved to the mountain side. He especially loved when winter rolled around, the snow would be just right for his family to go snowboarding. Everyday, he would run out of the house with his red snowboard, sometimes he would even miss breakfast just to go snowboarding! As he grew older, instead of riding the bus down the mountainside to go to school, he would snowboard his way down. That way he would be able to bring his snowboard to school and he would not have to be late since he always got to school earlier than the bus. Sometimes May, his friend who was also a snowboarder would tag along with him. One day, school was closed due to a blizzard that was passing by the area. Red was stuck at home because of the blizzard and had nothing to do. He wanted to be outside but he couldn't because he mom told him that he might be blown away. Just then, his family got a call from a local who asked if May was at their home. His mom answered no and May's father said that if they see her to please let them know. Red's mom asked Red if he knew were May was and Red said no. Red was worried about May because May always had difficulty keeping her balance. When the snow lightened up, Red got up and went out to search for May. He searched for hours and was searching along their daily route to school before he heard his name being shouted. He looked around and saw May popping out of what seemed to be an igloo except it was not an igloo but a big lump of snow. Red rushed over and ask where she had gone to in which she replied that she had left home early the previous day to practice her balance; the wind eventually strengthened and she lost her balance and twisted her ankle. She then mentioned how she then built an igloo and without a phone, she had to stay there all night. Luckily, all the children on the mountain side were told to keep a lighter with them just in case a situation like this were to happen. Eventually, Red and May laughed at the journey May had and then Red helped May back to her home by carrying her on his back. When May's ankle healed, Red started to help May get back on her board and helped her practice, that way she would be able to accompany him to school everyday from then on.
