ON TOP OF THE WORLD
THE SNOWY WOOD
I was standing at the top of the slope. My skiing instructor had just told me to go down the biggest slope for the first time. My legs were shaking, my teeth were chattering. I was about to say “no” when my instructor pushed me and I went speeding down the slope. As I went down I screamed at the top of my lungs with fright! I thought I was going to crash into the trees ahead. “What if I fall?” was repeating over and over in my head! Even though there was a straight path in the snow I thought a tree would reach out one of his arms and trip me up! But before I knew it, it was over and I wanted to do it all over again!
As I wandered through the lonely snow-dusted wood I could hear my boots crunching in the snow. I wondered what it would have looked like in the boiling hot mid-summer months. As I crunched on I could hear the trees whispering in my ears. Occasionally I could hear the odd bird tweeting, asking for food. I wished that I could climb up one of the many trees surrounding me just to see the beautiful white carpet covering England. I touched a tree and cold suddenly shot up my fingers. The snow was freezing – it felt like I had just touched the ice in the Antarctic. The snow started to fall again and I wished it could be snowy like this every day. Slowly I wandered on towards more snow-dusted trees. The carpet of snow looked like it went on forever. I felt like I was the only person for miles. It felt magical.
