“Let’s go over to the
park and watch the
new construction.  I
heard they are
building a waterslide,”
said George.
“My Dad owns the
company that’s
building the new slide.
That’s why we moved
here,” said Sneaker
proudly.

This is going to be great! I
can hardly wait!”   laughed
George, as he imagined
himself zooming down the
huge slide.

The waterpark was opening
in an hour.  Sneaker was
passing the time practicing
his jumps when a bird flew
right in front of him. His
feet zipped out from
under him as his board
went into the bushes.  
“Ouch!”  cried Sneaker.   
“Ooooh my head!”  
His mother called an
ambulance that came in
minutes.  The next thing he
knew he was waking up in a
hospital bed with a bad
headache.

All the kids came to visit
and brought get well
cards.
“I guess I missed
opening day,”  said
Sneaker.
“You better hurry up and
get well.  We miss you,”  
said Mitzy.
“It’s nice to know I have
so many new friends,”  
said Sneaker and he
meant it.

“Surprise!”  Came familiar
voices from around the corner.  
“We heard about your accident
and thought you might need a
few friends, but it looks like
you already have some,”  
laughed Robby who was
Sneaker’s best friend from his
old hometown.
“I want you to meet my new
friends,”  said Sneaker as he
introduced everyone.
“I really miss you guys.  Maybe
moving wasn’t so bad after all
because now I have twice as
many friends,”  cheered
Sneaker.

“I have some good news,
said Sneaker.  “The park
is putting in a skating
track and the hospital is
donating helmets and
tickets for opening day.”
“YAHOO!”  Cheered
everyone all at once.
