Three—Jungle-Gym Catastrophe
Tad dragged his feet on the ground to slow down. Then he jumped from the swing and ran to the picnic table. Toni let the merry-go-round slow down. Then she
jumped off and ran to the picnic table.
Aimi started to climb down from the very top of the
huge jungle gym. She meant to hold onto the bars with both hands. She really did. But Aimi started thinking about lunch instead of thinking about climbing down safely. She was in a hurry to eat the good food that Grami had brought in the bulging brown wicker basket. Unfortunately, Aimi forgot to hold onto the bars with both hands.
“Oh!” cried Aimi, as one hand slipped from the bar. “Oh!” cried Aimi as she fell nearly six feet to the hard ground. “Oh!” cried Aimi as her right arm began to hurt. “Oh!” cried Aimi as big fat tears squeezed out of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.
