The big green jalopy

Amantha Thayer Holcomb

When we bought my new bike I could hardly wait to ride it. It was a two-wheeler. There were no training wheels to hold me up.

My dad and I went to a parking lot so he could teach me to ride. I was really happy because right away I could ride the bike.

On one side of the parking lot there was a banged-up old green jalopy. It had wrinkled fenders and a bent bumper. I rode close to the car and banged into it. My bike and I fell down. It didn't hurt the car, but it sure didn't feel good to me.
