Dylan Goes to the Big Stadium
Dylan is going to a real stadium for the very first time!
Today was a very special day. Chloe the owl was taking Dylan to the big stadium to watch a real football match!
Dylan wore his yellow scarf and cap. ‘Ready?’ asked Chloe. ‘Ready!’ said Dylan. They hopped on the bus, and off they went.
The stadium was HUGE. There were flags, drums and thousands of happy people. ‘Wow,’ whispered Dylan. His eyes were as round as footballs.
They found their seats and shared a warm cheese roll. Down below, the players ran out onto the bright green grass. Everybody jumped up and CHEERED!
The ball zoomed this way. The ball zoomed that way. Dylan cheered so loudly that his voice went all squeaky. ‘GO, GO, GO!’
Then the whole crowd went quiet. A player took a shot... And the ball flew into the net! GOAL! Dylan hugged Chloe so tightly.
On the bus home, Dylan got sleepier and sleepier. ‘Best day ever,’ he yawned, snuggled up against Chloe, and dreamed of goals.
