Hot air balloon in Australia – level 1

23-11-2023 15:00

This news is from Australia. A hot air balloon is in the air. There are 9 people in the box below the balloon. The balloon
is running low on fuel. It cannot land normally.

The people are afraid. They think that the balloon will fall into the water. Luckily, there is a boat. It sees the balloon and helps. The balloon goes close to the boat. The passengers move to the boat.

All of them are safe. Only the pilot stays on the balloon. The balloon is light now. The pilot flies to a beach. He lands safely on the beach. No one is hurt. People say that the pilot is very good.

Difficult words: fuel (things that make energy), land (get to the ground safely), hurt (if you are hurt, you have problems with the body).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What miraculous feats does the pilot perform that causes people to say that he is very good?
