I always wanted explore the world. If I was lucky to win all that money,
I would spend it on what my mum needs. When I was on my hot air balloon,
it was cold. There were lots of hot air balloons around me. One was colourful.
The view was amazing. My friend Jayme saw a little house that looked like a
spot. I saw a little car that looked like a ant. It was so fast. It looked like a fast
mouse running away from a hungry cat.
