Have you ever let a balloon go way up into the sky?
How high can a balloon go? How high is too high?
Blue has two best friends. They‛re as close as could be.
One is a hot air balloon, and the other is a sunflower with a bee.
They all like to play games, one of their favorites is Jumpers.
Jump as high up as you can and count all of the numbers.
Sunflower always goes first, because he is better than the rest.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6! Sunflower has set a new best.
Hot Air goes second, because he's scared to go third.
He begins to jump into the air. 1, 2, 3......OH NO A BIRD!
Finally, Blue gets his turn to jump.
1, 2, 3, 4, the rock pulls Blue down with a THUMP!
"I win again, like always." Sunflower says with a big smile.
"One day I‛ll beat you." Says Blue "It just may take a little while."
"How could you ever beat 6?" Sunflower says with a laugh.
"I‛ll find a way to beat 6. Maybe I‛ll stand on a giraffe."
"No matter what you do, you better do it soon."
"Wait! I‛ve got it, I‛ll just jump to the moon!"
"You‛ll never make it to the moon with that rock on your string."
"Don‛t worry, Sunflower. I‛ll think of something."
Later that night, I
everyone is going bed. I Blue is awake, "How will I get to the moon like I said?"
Blue is looking at the moon. "Wow, it seems far."
"That‛s going to take a big jump. Maybe I should just shoot for Mars."
Blue is finally asleep, He isn't awake anymore.
Blue grabs a pillow and quickly begins to snore.
Blue practices jumping, all of the next day.
He practices his jumping in an unusual way.
First, he tries jumping from the top of a giraffe.
Which just ends up with a sunflowery laugh.
Next, Blue tries using a giant slingshot.
Does it end up working? No, it does not.
Blue tries using Hot Air to lift him all the way up.
Hot Air gets scared of a cloud that looks like a coffee cup.
Everything Blue tries never ever works out.
Blue begins to feel himself fill up with lots of doubt.
"Alright Blue, let‛s see what you‛ve got."
Blue looks up at the sky, "Let‛s give this a shot."
Blue jumps up to the sky with all of his might.
As hard he jumps his string only gets tight. 21
Blue begins to push harder, only a little bit more.
Suddenly, the string breaks and Blue begins to soar.
Blue soars up through the clouds and the sky.
Everything under Blue looks small because he's up so high.
Blue gets scared, so he shuts his eyes.
Blue keeps going up and up past all of the skies.
High above the earth, Blue is flying through space.
He starts to land on an unusual place.
Blue slowly opens both of his eyes.
He can't help but have a look of surprise.
He looks all around and can‛t believe he is there.
He is finally on the moon, and can‛t help but stare.
Looking all around, he notices the planets and stars.
I wonder how far I can go? Here I come Mars!
Dedicated to everyone who has ever been told their dreams won't come true. •
Anything is possible with hard work, +.
but it all depends on you.
