Elmo fastened a parachute to the box. A pilot took the box up
in a plane. When the plane buzzed low over Elmo’s test field,
the box was dropped.
The chute bloomed like a buttercup, then caught the breeze.
Elmo surely held his breath. The box fell as gently as a
mountain snowflake, landing softly on the grass. The box
sprang open . . . and Geronimo scrambled out!
The parachute plan worked!
