Eddie and the Rainbird
Eddie hopped on his bike and rode to the big map in the park. The next bay around looked a very long way away. He didn’t know if he could pedal that far on his little bike. If only he could get there quickly…
It was then he noticed a shiny red motorbike parked nearby. Would the owner mind if he borrowed it, just for a little while? He looked around for someone to ask but there was no-one in sight. It should be okay if he brought it right back…?
When Eddie climbed onto the motorbike, KAPOW! his little blue helmet turned into a proper racing helmet. And then KABAM! his jeans and T-shirt turned into a suit of proper racing leathers. And he didn’t know how, but the instant he got on that motorbike, he just knew how to ride it!
BRRROOOM, BRRROOOM! He took off with a loud roar.
The motorbike was so fast! It felt like he was flying down the road, and round the corners, and over the hills. The wind rushed around him, and the trees and houses went past in a blur.
