Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They shared their toys and snacks. They were honest with each other.
One day, a big dog came to the park. It barked and ran after the children. Ben and Lily were scared. They ran to the swings and climbed up. The dog could not reach them.
"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "You are not nice!"
The dog did not listen. It jumped and growled. It wanted to play, but it did not know how.
Lily started to cry. She missed her mom. She wanted to go home.
"Ben, I want my mom!" she sobbed.
Ben hugged Lily. He wanted his mom too. But he tried to be brave.
"Don't worry, Lily. I will provide for you. I will stay with you. We will be safe here. Mom will come soon." he said.
Lily nodded. She trusted Ben. He was her best friend. He was honest with her.
They held hands and waited. After a while, they saw their moms coming. They waved and shouted. The moms saw the dog and scared it away. They hugged their children and took them home.
Ben and Lily were happy. They had a big adventure. They learned to be brave and honest. They were still best friends.
