SKIN RIDES AGAIN

After a good night's sleep, Skin was ready to 'RIDE AGAIN!'

  This time he wanted to try bull riding, as he had heard that we might be going to a rodeo when we reach Rockhampton.

    The bull he chose was a HUGE Droughtmaster who had never seen

a banana before.

But Skin put Jabiru's mind at ease by chatting to him softly, (hoping he would be able to muster the courage to climb up onto his ENORMOUS BACK!)

He decided to wear a safety helmet  JUST IN CASE HE LANDED ON THE GROUND AGAIN!

The time came for mounting.

 

 

Skin swung his tiny leg over the massive mound and sat looking out over the endless paddocks around him.

He felt so relaxed that he closed his eyes and even  had a tiny snooze on Jabiru's comfortable hump. 

He became so relaxed that he started to slide down Jabiru's rump.

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN HE FELL ONTO THE GROUND.

Thank goodness he was wearing his crash helmet!

Jabiru sniffed at the tiny banana lying in the grass...

Would he find him to be a delicious morsel?

 

Would this be the end of Skin?
