"What a wonderful
day" said Sam as he gazed from the window. " shall we go?" replied his friend Jan.
"I know, lets go the park. We might see the rest of the
gang and we can play hide and seek," said Sam
enthusiastically. "Hang on," cried Jan "I'm hungry. I'll
grab afrom the fruit basket."
Minutes later they rushed through the park gate.
"Look. They are over exclaimed Sam as he saw his pals in the
distance. "Come on, lets give them a surprise,"
whispered Jan as she crept towards some nearby trees. They
moved carefully, hiding behind tree trunks. As they neared
their friends they could hear voices. Sam pointed at a low branch and began to
climb.
The gang, who playing a game of conkers, were unaware of
the activity behind them and did not see Sam as he
climbed higher on a strong looking Sam tried desperately not to giggle as he
looked down at his friends. He hoped they could not
his stifled laughter. This was going to be fun
thought Sam as he reached for his Yo-Yo. Then suddenly Sam's
branch began to move.
He crept further along the branch and it began to
creak and bend. Jan was the first to see the crack start to
appear in the wood of the branch Sam was lying on. She ran
screaming, "Watch out." Her friends turned and looked up."
They could only at the shocking sight of Sam falling through
the air towards them. With a terrible thud, Sam and the
branch crashed onto the floor next to them. "Owwwww"
yelled Sam as he sat up and brushed the dirt from his
clothes. "That hurt." "You were lucky, I think we had better
go home and clean you up," said Jan. "Wait! is my Yo-Yo?" They all looked up, hanging at
the end of a long thin branch was the Yo-Yo swinging gently,
it's string tangled in the twigs. "It can stay there"
exclaimed Sam, "I'm not climbing trees
again..."
