=Water Slide =

Joseph was short, red-headed, and had a lot of freckles all over his face. He wasn’t sure about what to expect that day. His parents had told him that they were going to take him to a pool with big water slides and a lot of diving boards. //What’s a water slide//, he silently wondered to himself. Finally, he had come to the conclusion that a water slide was a slide that was made out of water.

He stepped into the black Ford that his dad owned, fastened his seatbelt, and they drove off to the pool. His heart was beating quickly; he was excited about what was going to happen to him on the water slide. As the car pulled up to the parking lot of the pool, he was the first person out of the car.

When everybody was finally ready, he ran to the pool only to feel a wave of disappointment. //This slide was made out of plastic!// So his dad explained to him that water was inside of the slide and that the slide ended in the water.

As little Joseph walked slowly up the stairs to the slide, he started to have doubts about whether or not he wanted to go through with it. He climbed three stories before he finally reached the top of the slide. He turned around to his dad and told him that he had changed his mind and that he didn’t want to go.

Just as he said that, his father pushed him down the slide.

Joseph couldn’t see anything inside of the slide as he began to move faster and faster. Suddenly, he felt a jump and next thing he knew he was flying in midair. Then he felt a cold splash.

Joseph opened his eyes and realized that he was underwater. He quickly swam to the surface of the water. When he stepped out of the pool, he saw his dad grinning at him.

“Was it fun?” his dad asked him.

“Yes!” he said laughing as he ran back to the line, eager to go back down his new, favorite water slide.
