Flo’s First Big Match
Flo is going to a real stadium for the very first time!
Today was a very special day. Priya the pony was taking Flo to the big stadium to watch a real football match!
Flo wore her blue scarf and cap. ‘Ready?’ asked Priya. ‘Ready!’ said Flo. They hopped on the bus, and off they went.
The stadium was HUGE. There were flags, drums and thousands of happy people. ‘Wow,’ whispered Flo. Her eyes were as round as footballs.
They found their seats and shared a bag of popcorn. 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. Flo cheered so loudly that her 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! Flo hugged Priya so tightly.
On the bus home, Flo got sleepier and sleepier. ‘Best day ever,’ she yawned, snuggled up against Priya, and dreamed of goals.
