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