L ▁ily ▁ and ▁ Ben ▁ were ▁ best ▁ friends ▁. ▁ They ▁ liked ▁ to ▁ play ▁ in ▁ the ▁ park ▁ every ▁ day ▁. ▁ They ▁ had ▁ a ▁ lot ▁ of ▁ fun ▁ on ▁ the ▁ swings ▁, ▁ the ▁ slide ▁ and ▁ the ▃ sees ▁aw ▁. ▁ But ▁ their ▁ favorite ▁ thing ▁ was ▁ the ▁ rope ▁ bridge ▁. ▁ It ▁ was ▁ high ▁ and ▁ long ▁ and ▁ w ▁obb ▁ly ▁. ▁ They ▁ pretended ▁ they ▁ were ▁ crossing ▁ a ▁ jungle ▁ or ▅ a █ mountain ▅. ▁\n ▁\n ▁One ▁ day ▁, ▁ they ▁ saw ▁ a ▁ new ▁ boy ▁ in ▁ the ▁ park ▁. ▁ His ▁ name ▁ was ▁ Max ▁. ▁ He ▁ looked ▁ sad ▁ and ▁ lonely ▁. ▁ Lily ▁ and ▁ Ben ▁ wanted ▁ to ▁ be ▁ nice ▁ to ▁ him ▁. ▁ They ▁ asked ▁ him ▁ if ▁ he ▁ wanted ▁ to ▁ play ▁ with ▁ them ▁. ▁ Max ▁ nodded ▁ and ▁ smiled ▁. ▁ They ▁ showed ▁ him ▁ the ▁ rope ▁ bridge ▁ and ▁ told ▁ him ▁ it ▁ was ▁ fun ▁. ▁\n ▁\n ▁But ▁ Max ▁ was ▁ scared ▁ of ▁ the ▁ rope ▁ bridge ▁. ▁ He ▁ thought ▁ it ▁ was ▁ too ▁ high ▁ and ▁ too ▁ w ▁obb ▁ly ▁. ▁ He ▁ did ▁ not ▁ want ▁ to ▁ cross ▁ it ▁. ▁ He ▁ said ▁ he ▁ would ▁ wait ▁ for ▁ them ▁ on ▁ the ▁ other ▁ side ▁. ▁ Lily ▁ and ▁ Ben ▁ said ▁ okay ▁ and ▁ started ▁ to ▁ cross ▁ the ▁ rope ▁ bridge ▁. ▁ They ▁ held ▁ the ▁ rope ▁ tight ▁ and ▁ walked ▁ slowly ▁. ▁\n ▁\n ▁But ▁ when ▁ they ▁ were ▁ in ▁ the ▁ middle ▁ of ▁ the ▁ bridge ▁, ▁ they ▁ heard ▁ a ▁ loud ▁ snap ▁. ▁ One ▁ of ▁ the ▁ ropes ▁ had ▁ broken ▁. ▁ The ▁ bridge ▁ tilted ▁ and ▁ shook ▁. ▁ Lily ▁ and ▁ Ben ▁ screamed ▁. ▁ They ▁ were ▁ afraid ▁ they ▁ would ▁ fall ▁. ▁ They ▁ looked ▁ for ▁ Max ▁, ▁ but ▁ he ▁ was ▁ not ▁ there ▁. ▁ He ▁ had ▁ run ▁ away ▁. ▁\n ▁\n ▁L ▁ily ▁ and ▁ Ben ▁ did ▁ not ▁ know ▁ what ▁ to ▁ do ▁. ▁ They ▁ were ▁ stuck ▁ on ▁ the ▁ bridge ▁. ▁ They ▁ cried ▁ for ▁ help ▁. ▁ But ▁ no ▁ one ▁ heard ▁ them ▁. ▁ They ▁ wished ▁ Max ▁ had ▁ stayed ▁ with ▁ them ▁. ▁ They ▁ wished ▁ they ▁ had ▁ a ▁ friend ▁ who ▁ would ▁ not ▁ leave ▁ them ▁. ▁\n ▁\n ▁Then ▁ they ▁ saw ▁ a ▁ man ▁ coming ▁. ▁ He ▁ was ▁ wearing ▁ a ▁ hat ▁ and ▁ a ▁ badge ▁. ▁ He ▁ was ▁ a ▁ park ▁ ranger ▁. ▁ He ▁ saw ▁ Lily ▁ and ▁ Ben ▁ on ▁ the ▁ bridge ▁. ▁ He ▁ ran ▁ to ▁ help ▁ them ▁. ▁ He ▁ had ▁ a ▁ big ▁ rope ▁. ▁ He ▁ threw ▁ it ▁ to ▁ them ▁ and ▁ told ▁ them ▁ to ▁ hold ▁ it ▁ tight ▁. ▁ He ▁ pulled ▁ them ▁ to ▁ safety ▁. ▁ He ▁ hugged ▁ them ▁ and ▁ said ▁ they ▁ were ▁ brave ▁. ▁\n ▁\n ▁L ▁ily ▁ and ▁ Ben ▁ thanked ▁ the ▁ park ▁ ranger ▁. ▁ They ▁ were ▁ happy ▁ he ▁ had ▁ saved ▁ them ▁. ▁ They ▁ learned ▁ a ▁ lesson ▁ that ▁ day ▁. ▁ They ▁ learned ▁ that ▁ a ▁ true ▁ friend ▁ is ▁ someone ▁ who ▁ remains ▁ with ▁ you ▁ when ▁ you ▁ need ▁ them ▁. ▁ They ▁ learned ▁ that ▁ a ▁ rope ▁ can ▁ be ▁ tight ▁ or ▁ loose ▁, ▁ but ▁ a ▁ friendship ▁ should ▁ always ▁ be ▁ tight ▁. ▁

L ▁ily ▁ and ▁ Ben ▁ were ▁ twins ▁ who ▁ liked ▁ to ▁ play ▁ in ▁ their ▁ room ▁. ▁ They ▁ had ▁ a ▁ big ▁ curtain ▁ that ▁ hung ▁ from ▁ the ▁ ceiling ▁ and ▁ made ▁ a ▁ wall ▁ in ▁ the ▁ middle ▁ of ▁ the ▁ room ▁. ▁ Sometimes ▁ they ▁ pretended ▁ that ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁ was ▁ a ▂ door ▂ to ▁ a ▂ different ▁ place ▁, ▂ like ▁ a ▂ castle ▂ or ▅ a █ jungle ▅ or ▆ a ▇ spaceship ▇. ▁\n ▁\n ▁One ▁ day ▁, ▁ they ▁ decided ▁ to ▁ play ▁ a ▁ game ▁ of ▁ hide ▁ and ▁ seek ▁. ▁ Lily ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁I ▁ will ▁ count ▁ to ▁ ten ▁ and ▁ you ▁ hide ▁ behind ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁. ▁ Then ▁ I ▁ will ▁ try ▁ to ▁ find ▁ you ▁.“ ▁ Ben ▁ nodded ▁ and ▁ ran ▁ behind ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁. ▁ Lily ▁ closed ▁ her ▁ eyes ▁ and ▁ counted ▁ out ▁ loud ▁, ▁ “ ▁One ▁, ▃ two ▁, ▂ three ▁, ▁ four ▁, ▁ five ▁, ▁ six ▁, ▁ seven ▁, ▁ eight ▁, ▁ nine ▁, ▁ ten ▁! ▁ Ready ▁ or ▁ not ▁, ▁ here ▁ I ▁ come ▁!“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁L ▁ily ▁ opened ▁ her ▁ eyes ▁ and ▁ looked ▁ around ▁ the ▁ room ▁. ▁ She ▁ saw ▁ a ▁ small ▁ bump ▁ under ▁ the ▁ bed ▁, ▂ a ▂ pile ▁ of ▁ toys ▁ in ▃ the ▂ corner ▁, ▂ and ▂ a ▄ lamp ▁ on ▃ the ▁ table ▂. ▁ She ▁ thought ▁, ▁ “ ▁Where ▁ is ▁ Ben ▁? ▁ Maybe ▁ he ▁ is ▁ under ▁ the ▁ bed ▁.“ ▁ She ▁ walked ▁ to ▁ the ▁ bed ▁ and ▁ lifted ▁ the ▁ blanket ▁. ▁ But ▁ there ▁ was ▁ no ▁ Ben ▁, ▁ only ▁ a ▁ stuffed ▁ bear ▁. ▁ She ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁O ▁ops ▁, ▁ not ▁ here ▁!“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁She ▁ moved ▁ to ▁ the ▁ corner ▁ and ▁ looked ▁ at ▁ the ▁ toys ▁. ▁ She ▁ saw ▁ a ▁ truck ▁, ▂ a ▄ ball ▂, ▄ a ▄ doll ▃, ▄ and ▄ a ▄ book ▂. ▁ She ▁ thought ▁, ▁ “ ▁Maybe ▁ he ▁ is ▁ behind ▁ the ▁ toys ▁.“ ▁ She ▁ pushed ▁ the ▁ toys ▁ aside ▁ and ▁ looked ▁ behind ▁ them ▁. ▁ But ▁ there ▁ was ▁ no ▁ Ben ▁, ▁ only ▁ a ▂ spider ▁ web ▁. ▁ She ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁Y ▁uck ▁, ▁ not ▁ here ▁!“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁She ▁ walked ▁ to ▁ the ▁ table ▁ and ▁ looked ▁ at ▁ the ▁ lamp ▁. ▁ She ▁ saw ▁ a ▁ cord ▁, ▁ a ▃ switch ▁, ▃ a ▃ shade ▁, ▃ and ▃ a ▄ bulb ▁. ▁ She ▁ thought ▁, ▁ “ ▁Maybe ▁ he ▁ is ▁ under ▁ the ▁ lamp ▁.“ ▁ She ▁ lifted ▁ the ▁ lamp ▁ and ▁ looked ▁ under ▁ it ▁. ▁ But ▁ there ▁ was ▁ no ▁ Ben ▁, ▁ only ▂ a ▂ dust ▁ bunny ▁. ▁ She ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁E ▁w ▁, ▁ not ▁ here ▁!“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁She ▁ scratched ▁ her ▁ head ▁ and ▁ wondered ▁, ▁ “ ▁Where ▁ is ▁ Ben ▁? ▁ He ▁ is ▁ very ▁ good ▁ at ▁ hiding ▁. ▁ Maybe ▁ he ▁ is ▁ behind ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁.“ ▁ She ▁ ran ▁ to ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁ and ▁ pulled ▁ it ▁ aside ▁. ▁ But ▁ there ▁ was ▁ no ▁ Ben ▁, ▁ only ▁ a ▂ big ▁ hole ▁. ▁ She ▁ gasped ▁ and ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁Oh ▁ no ▁, ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁ is ▁ split ▁!“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁She ▁ heard ▁ a ▁ g ▁iggle ▁ from ▁ the ▁ other ▁ side ▁ of ▁ the ▁ hole ▁. ▁ She ▁ looked ▁ through ▁ it ▁ and ▁ saw ▁ Ben ▁. ▁ He ▁ was ▁ smiling ▁ and ▁ holding ▁ a ▁ pair ▁ of ▁ scissors ▁. ▁ He ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁Sur ▁prise ▁! ▁ I ▁ made ▁ a ▁ new ▁ door ▁. ▁ Do ▁ you ▁ like ▁ it ▁?“ ▁ He ▁ was ▁ very ▁ playful ▁ and ▁ thought ▁ it ▁ was ▁ funny ▁. ▁\n ▁\n ▁L ▁ily ▁ was ▁ not ▁ amused ▁. ▁ She ▁ was ▁ angry ▁ and ▁ sad ▁. ▁ She ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁Ben ▁, ▁ that ▁ was ▁ not ▁ nice ▁. ▁ You ▁ ruined ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁. ▁ Mom ▁ and ▁ Dad ▁ will ▁ be ▁ mad ▁. ▁ How ▁ will ▁ we ▁ fix ▁ it ▁?“ ▁ She ▁ started ▁ to ▁ cry ▁. ▁\n ▁\n ▁Ben ▁ realized ▁ that ▁ he ▁ had ▁ made ▁ a ▁ mistake ▁. ▁ He ▁ felt ▁ sorry ▁ and ▁ ashamed ▁. ▁ He ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁I ▁’m ▁ sorry ▁, ▁ Lily ▁. ▁ I ▁ didn ▁’t ▁ mean ▁ to ▁ make ▁ you ▁ cry ▁. ▁ I ▁ just ▁ wanted ▁ to ▁ have ▁ fun ▁. ▁ Please ▁ don ▁’t ▁ be ▁ mad ▁ at ▁ me ▁. ▁ Maybe ▁ we ▁ can ▁ sew ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁ back ▁ together ▁. ▁ Or ▁ maybe ▁ we ▁ can ▁ find ▁ a ▁ new ▁ curtain ▁. ▁ Or ▁ maybe ▁ we ▁ can ▁ pretend ▁ that ▁ the ▁ hole ▁ is ▁ a ▁ window ▁. ▁ Can ▁ we ▁ still ▁ be ▁ friends ▁?“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁L ▁ily ▁ looked ▁ at ▁ Ben ▁ and ▁ saw ▁ that ▁ he ▁ was ▁ sincere ▁. ▁ She ▁ wiped ▁ her ▁ tears ▁ and ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁OK ▁, ▁ Ben ▁. ▁ I ▁ forgive ▁ you ▁. ▁ But ▁ you ▁ have ▁ to ▁ promise ▁ not ▁ to ▁ cut ▁ the ▁ curtain ▁ again ▁. ▁ And ▁ you ▁ have ▁ to ▁ help ▁ me ▁ clean ▁ up ▁ the ▁ mess ▁. ▁ And ▁ you ▁ have ▁ to ▁ let ▁ me ▁ hide ▁ next ▁ time ▁. ▁ Deal ▁?“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁Ben ▁ nodded ▁ and ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁Deal ▁. ▁ I ▁’m ▁ sorry ▁, ▁ Lily ▁. ▁ I ▁ love ▁ you ▁.“ ▁ He ▁ hugged ▁ her ▁ and ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁You ▁ are ▁ the ▁ best ▁ sister ▁ ever ▁.“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁L ▁ily ▁ hugged ▁ him ▁ back ▁ and ▁ said ▁, ▁ “ ▁You ▁ are ▁ the ▁ best ▁ brother ▁ ever ▁. ▁ But ▁ you ▁ are ▁ also ▁ very ▁ naughty ▁. ▁ Come ▁ on ▁, ▁ let ▁’s ▁ go ▁ find ▁ Mom ▁ and ▁ Dad ▁ and ▁ tell ▁ them ▁ what ▁ happened ▁. ▁ Maybe ▁ they ▁ will ▁ not ▁ be ▁ too ▁ mad ▁ if ▁ we ▁ say ▁ we ▁ are ▁ sorry ▁ and ▁ we ▁ will ▁ fix ▁ it ▁.“ ▁\n ▁\n ▁They ▁ held ▁ hands ▁ and ▁ walked ▁ out ▁ of ▁ the ▁ room ▁. ▁ They ▁ hoped ▁ that ▁ Mom ▁ and ▁ Dad ▁ would ▁ understand ▁. ▁ They ▁ learned ▁ that ▁ playing ▁ is ▁ fun ▁, ▁ but ▁ not ▁ when ▁ it ▁ hurts ▁ someone ▁ or ▁ something ▁. ▁ They ▁ also ▁ learned ▁ that ▁ saying ▁ sorry ▁ and ▁ forgiving ▁ are ▁ important ▁ when ▁ you ▁ make ▁ a ▁ mistake ▁. ▁ They ▁ were ▁ still ▁ twins ▁ who ▁ liked ▁ to ▁ play ▁, ▁ but ▁ they ▁ were ▁ also ▁ more ▁ careful ▁ and ▁ kind ▁. ▁
