Tony had turned his bicycle into a pirate ship. He had cut the sides

of the ship from a huge cardboard box. A black pirate flag flew from

a long pole. As they rode in the parade, the wind blew the ship up

and down. Tony had to pedal hard to keep his bike moving. He

frowned and complained the whole way.

Why wasn't Tony having any fun?

• Gina's bike looked better than his.

• He had decorated his bike as a pirate ship.

• Riding his bike in the parade was hard work.
