4 a Then he was really in trouble. A pilot saw Larry as he was drifting into the airspace of Los Angeles International Airport. He radioed the airport and said he was passing a guy in a garden chair with a gun 4,000 metres above ground. Night was coming and a breeze was blowing Larry out to sea while a helicopter was following him.
b Larry tied two balloons to his garden chair and filled them with the gas. He was filling the balloons when he noticed that the chair was a metre above ground, so he climbed on the chair to test it. It worked! Smiling to himself, Larry packed some sandwiches and his air gun. He thought that when it was time to descend he could burst some balloons. c Larry Waters of Los Angeles only had one dream he wanted to fly. Unfortunately, he didnt get into the Air Force. So, day after day, Larry watched aeroplanes fly over his house. Then one day, while he was watching the sky, Larry had an idea. He went to a shop and bought forty-five weather balloons and some helium. d The police were waiting for Larry when he landed. As they were leading him away, Larry said to reporters: A man cant just sit around. e So, he cut the rope that kept the balloons down. He found himself shooting up into the sky very, very quickly! The floating garden chair was climbing higher and higher. Larry was nervous. He was thinking about shooting the balloons, but he didnt want to come down as quickly as he went up! f It was difficult to rescue Larry because every time they got near to him, the wind from the helicopter blew Larry away. Eventually, he caught a rope and slowly came down to Earth.
