The Shrinking Race (2010)
The Shrinking Race
“Lush sugarmelon bushes grew everywhere. Kip couldn’t resist picking more sugarmelons.
But the further from the city they went, the fewer sugarmelon bushes they found. Soon, all Kip saw were dead plants.
He guessed that the plants would have once been fresh vegetables. Now they were brown and wilted.
Hiking to the Badlands will take ages, Kip realised. He had heaps of energy from the sugarmelons, but Finbar didn’t like them. For Finbar, the trek would be a struggle.
Time to test our new Hummingb...ird Pros! Kip decided, reaching down to his boots.
The back of each pair of Hummingbird Pros was fitted with tiny, flexible wings.
They ran on rechargeable batteries in the boots’ sole. The batteries would not stay charged forever. But they’d get Kip and Finbar some of the way at least.
At the touch of a button, the wings popped out. Suddenly Kip and Finbar were lifted a few centimetres off the ground. The boots’ wings buzzed loudly and Kip and Finbar took off at top speed. They glided along like mid-air rollerbladers.MoreLess
