Balloon and Curls

ALF made this hot air balloon at school last week.  Her painting technique is pretty good.  I'm trying to figure out the story she is trying to tell.  Did that hot air balloon get into some sort of accident?  How come there is an obvious patch in the upper left?  Did the pilot run into a tree?  Did the balloon suffer from some sort of pigeon attack? 

 ALF had a particularly curly hair day today!  Yay, hair!
