The ice skating show

Blythe Evans

Fancy moves! The ice skating show! These were the things I looked forward to when my parents signed me up for figure skating lessons. Figure skating sounded pretty cool, but the lessons and practice sessions weren’t easy. I had to work hard to master what we were learning. Gradually, I got better at it.

In the spring each year, the figure skating club where I took lessons would put on an ice show. It was a big deal. Almost everyone in our town came to see it. After working so hard, I was looking forward to being in the show with my beautiful costume and newly learned skills.

But there was a problem.
