Look Down!

The two boys could feel space above the plane. Once there were two boys. They were at the airport. When they were asleep, someone put magnets inside them. When they woke up they found themselves on a flying aeroplane. 

The man inside looked out of the window and saw two boys the man ran to the pilot and said “There are two boys outside the plane and they can’t move.’’ but the pilot ignored the man. After a while the two boys saw something on the ground. It was a Great White Shark and that great white shark was very hungry. 

The pilot had to avoid the birds so he flew around and around. One of the boys slipped off the wing and the other boy grabbed his arm and pulled him up, but the plane kept on spinning. The boy fell down into the water and the great white shark chased the boy. Suddenly a dolphin came to protect the boy.

The other boy jumped down and went to the dolphin. The dolphin and the great white shark attacked and the dolphin won. The two boys went to shore and they were very happy that the dolphin saved them.
