Today's the Day

Today’s the day!

I was finally going to learn to ski. But...

It’s lost!

What could I do? I’ve lost my passport.

The flight was scheduled for 6.35am tomorrow. It was my dream holiday and now it was looking as if it was in tatters.

My heart leapt as I, for the umpteenth time, foraged through all the official-looking documents I could lay my hands on.

No joy!

What can I do?

It’s over before I begin.

What will my friends say when I don’t turn up at the airport?

A light suddenly flashed in my eyes. What’s going on?

“Get a move on,” said Mum, “or you’ll be late and miss your flight.”

Relief swept over me as I realised my worst nightmare was actually a bad dream and here I was off on a holiday of a lifetime.

Ski slopes, here I come!
