5-Year-Old Racecar Driver

There is a five-year-old kid in Egypt who drives a race car! That's amazing. Many kids can ride a bicycle… but drive a race car? How is that possible? 五歲小孩開賽車，怎麼可能？ Well, in Egypt there are lots of deserts. Deserts are big, open, and sandy … so you won't really crash into anything. 埃及有廣大的沙漠，寬廣的空間讓汽車駕駛不會撞上東西。 The desert race cars have special wheels and they look like the cars you see on the beaches in Taiwan. 這種沙漠賽車很特別，輪胎比較像台灣的沙灘車。 The young race car driver doesn't race by himself. His dad sits in the seat next to him. They wear helmets when they race in the desert. Sounds like fun, yeah? 這個小孩開車的時候爸爸會在旁邊，兩個人都戴頭盔，在沙漠裡開快車。 Racing in the desert is not easy. There are no trees to crash into… but your car can sink into the sand and get stuck! You have to learn how to not get stuck! 雖然沙漠裡沒有樹木，但是汽車有可能陷進沙子裡。 The five-year-old boy has his dad next to him to help him. And his daddy is also a race car driver! No wonder the boy loves racing! 小孩的爸爸也是賽車手，難怪他喜歡賽車。 If you remember to be safe and find an adult to help you, kids can try lots of interesting adventures… like riding a horse, or rock climbing… or maybe, even desert race car driving!
