Percy Goes to the Big Stadium
Percy is going to a real stadium for the very first time!
Today was a very special day. Dot the deer was taking Percy to the big stadium to watch a real football match!
Percy wore his sky-blue scarf and cap. ‘Ready?’ asked Dot. ‘Ready!’ said Percy. They hopped on the bus, and off they went.
The stadium was HUGE. There were flags, drums and thousands of happy people. ‘Wow,’ whispered Percy. His eyes were as round as footballs.
They found their seats and shared a fluffy doughnut. 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. Percy 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! Percy hugged Dot so tightly.
On the bus home, Percy got sleepier and sleepier. ‘Best day ever,’ he yawned, snuggled up against Dot, and dreamed of goals.
