One day, a little girl named Amy was playing outside with her ball. She saw her friend Tom and said, "Hi Tom, want to play?" Tom said, "Yes, let's play catch!" They played and had fun.
Suddenly, a big, terrible storm came. The wind blew hard and the rain fell. Amy and Tom had to pause their game. They ran to Amy's house and looked out the window. The world outside was very wet.
Amy's mom said, "It's not safe to play outside now. Let's wait for the storm to stop." Amy and Tom were sad, but they knew it was important to listen. They played inside the house and soon, the storm was gone. They learned that sometimes, it's good to pause and wait for the right time to play.
