Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a swamp near their house. It was wet and muddy and full of frogs and bugs. Sam and Ben wanted to catch some frogs and bugs for fun.
They ran to the swamp and jumped in. They splashed and laughed and looked for frogs and bugs. Sam saw a big green frog sitting on a log. He ran to the log and tried to grab the frog. But the frog was too fast and jumped away. Sam was sad and angry.
He saw Ben holding a stick. He had a bug on the end of the stick. He was poking the bug with the stick. He was happy and proud.
"Look, Sam, I caught a bug!" Ben said. "It is big and brown and has many legs. Do you want to see it?"
Sam did not want to see the bug. He wanted to catch a frog. He was jealous of Ben. He ran to Ben and pushed him. Ben fell into the swamp. He dropped the stick and the bug. He was wet and dirty and scared.
"Hey, Sam, why did you do that?" Ben cried. "That was not nice. You made me lose my bug. You are a mean brother!"
Sam felt bad. He did not mean to hurt Ben. He was just angry and frustrated. He wanted to have fun too. He said he was sorry.
"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to push you. I was just mad because I could not catch a frog. You are a good brother. Can we still be friends?"
Ben looked at Sam. He saw that Sam was sorry. He forgave him. He said he was sorry too.
"I'm sorry, Sam. I did not mean to make you mad. I was just happy because I caught a bug. You are a good brother too. Of course we can still be friends."
Sam and Ben hugged. They decided to share the stick and the bug. They also decided to help each other catch frogs. They played together in the swamp. They had fun. They were happy.
