Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they decided to play a game of hide and seek in the house.
Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She checked under the bed, behind the sofa, in the closet, but she could not find him. She sighed and thought, where could he be?
Ben was hiding in the kitchen, inside the refrigerator. He had opened the door quietly and climbed in. He thought it was a good hiding spot, because Lily would never look there. He smiled and waited for Lily to give up.
But Lily did not give up. She searched every room in the house, except the kitchen. She was getting tired and hungry. She decided to go to the kitchen and get a snack. She walked to the refrigerator and opened the door.
She saw Ben sitting inside, holding a carton of juice. She was surprised and angry. She said, "Ben, you cheated! You can't hide in the refrigerator! That's not fair!"
Ben said, "I didn't cheat! I just found a clever spot! I win!"
Lily said, "No, you don't! You broke the rules! I win!"
They started to argue and shout. They did not notice that their mom came into the kitchen. She heard them and said, "What are you two doing? Why are you in the refrigerator? You could get sick or hurt!"
Lily and Ben stopped arguing and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were playing hide and seek and we got too competitive."
Mom said, "I'm glad you like to play games, but you have to be safe and respectful. Hiding in the refrigerator is not a good idea. And you don't have to fight over who wins or loses. The most important thing is to have fun and be kind to each other."
Lily and Ben nodded and hugged their mom. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love each other, too. Can we have some juice, please?"
Mom smiled and said, "Of course you can. But first, let's close the refrigerator and clean up the mess."
