Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They have a meeting place under the big tree. They promise to wait for each other there.
One day, Lily is late. She has to help her mom with the shopping. The bags are heavy and she has to walk slowly. She hopes Ben will not be angry.
Ben is waiting under the big tree. He looks at his watch. He is bored and hungry. He wonders where Lily is. He thinks maybe she forgot their promise.
He sees a boy with a red bike. The boy asks him if he wants to ride. Ben likes bikes. He says yes. He forgets about Lily and the meeting place.
Lily finally arrives at the park. She looks for Ben under the big tree. She does not see him. She feels sad and lonely. She calls his name. She hears a voice.
"Lily, I'm sorry. I broke our promise. I was playing with the bike. Please don't be mad."
She turns around and sees Ben. He is holding the bike. He looks sorry. She smiles and hugs him.
"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, please wait for me. I missed you."
They both say sorry and hug again. They decide to share the bike and play together. They are happy and forget about the heavy bags and the boring watch. They remember their promise and their meeting place.
