Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. But today the park is icy and cold. Sara and Tom wear hats and gloves and coats.
They see a big hill with snow. They want to slide down the hill. They find a big box and put it on the snow. They climb on the box and hold hands.
"Are you ready?" Sara asks.
"Yes, I am ready!" Tom says.
They push the box and it goes down the hill very fast. They laugh and scream. They see their mom and dad at the bottom of the hill. They wave to them.
"Hi, mom! Hi, dad!" Sara and Tom shout.
Mom and dad wave back. They are happy to see Sara and Tom having fun.
"Be careful, kids!" mom says.
"Don't worry, mom! We are careful!" Tom says.
The box reaches the bottom of the hill and stops. Sara and Tom jump off the box and run to mom and dad. They hug them and tell them about their slide.
"That was fun!" Sara says.
"Yes, it was fun!" Tom says.
"Can we do it again?" Sara asks.
"Maybe next week, when the park is not so icy," dad says.
"OK, dad," Sara says.
They go home and have hot chocolate and cookies. They are warm and cozy. They are happy. They are friends.
