Sam beamed from ear to ear. For the first time ever he'd been tall enough to ride the ‘Rocky Rollercoaster Ride' at the summer fair.
All these years he's stood by and watched his big brother go around and around, up and down. Now it was his turn and he couldn't wait.
Standing in the queue next to his Dad, Sam tried with all his might to squash his nerves. Although he was excited, the funny feeling
