Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were animals and make noises. Anna was a cat and Ben was a dog. They chased each other and had fun.
"Meow, meow, I'm a cat. You can't catch me, dog!" Anna said.
"Woof, woof, I'm a dog. I'm faster than you, cat!" Ben said.
They ran around the trees and the swings, but then Anna saw something that made her stop. She saw a big, red truck with a loud siren. It was a fire truck. She liked fire trucks. She wanted to see it closer.
"Look, Ben, a fire truck!" Anna said.
"Where?" Ben said.
"Over there, by the bathroom. Come on, let's go!" Anna said.
They ran towards the bathroom, where the fire truck was parked. They saw some firemen in yellow suits and helmets. They looked busy and important. Anna and Ben wanted to talk to them and see their truck.
"Hello, firemen!" Anna said.
"Hello, kids!" one of the firemen said. "What are you doing here?"
"We were playing in the park. We like your truck. Can we see it?" Ben said.
"Sure, you can see it. But be careful, it's not an ordinary truck. It has a lot of tools and hoses and water. We use it to put out fires and help people," the fireman said.
"Wow, that's cool. Can we try the siren?" Anna said.
"Sorry, no. The siren is only for emergencies. We don't want to scare people or make noise for no reason," the fireman said.
"Oh, okay. Can we see the tools and hoses and water?" Ben said.
"Sure, you can see them. But don't touch them. They are very heavy and dangerous. We only use them when we need to," the fireman said.
He showed them the tools and hoses and water. Anna and Ben looked at them with curiosity and admiration. They recognized some of them, like the axe and the ladder and the bucket. But some of them were new and strange, like the nozzle and the hydrant and the extinguisher. They asked the fireman what they were and what they did. The fireman explained them and told them some stories about his job.
Anna and Ben learned a lot from the fireman. They thanked him and said goodbye. They went back to their toys and continued their game. But now they had a new idea. They pretended they were firemen and fire trucks. They made siren noises and sprayed water from their bottles. They had more fun than ever. They liked fire trucks. They liked firemen. They liked learning new things.
