Lawn Chair Larry: Part
2
Level:
Intermediate
There’s only hand
luggage for this flight. All Larry takes is
his lunch, a parachute, a CB radio and a camera. The CB
radio is to alert other aircraft.
‘Okay,’ Larry tells his friends. ‘Cut the
rope!’
To everyone’s surprise the flying chair works. It
flies up into the sky and quickly reached 20 metres. Then
200 metres. Still it keeps rising.
Gunman in Flying
Chair
Soon the chair is three miles above the
Californian coast. Reports began coming in to air traffic
control. ‘There’s a flying chair up here! And
the guy sitting in it has a gun!’
Meanwhile Larry is having a wonderful time. But it’s
now very cold in the high altitude. It’s time to come down.
Larry begins shooting the balloons. Slowly the chair
descends. It touches power cables on the descent, causing a
power cut in Los Angeles. But eventually Larry lands
safely.
