Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play at the park. They loved to slide on the big slide, but they were afraid of the small slide. The small slide was very high and had a scary view of the road and the cars. Anna and Ben always said, "No, thank you!" when their moms asked them to try the small slide.
One day, Anna and Ben saw a new kid at the park. His name was Sam and he had a red hat. Sam was not afraid of the small slide. He ran to the top and slid down with a big smile. He said, "This is fun! You should try it!"
Anna and Ben looked at each other. They wanted to be brave like Sam, but they were still scared. They decided to watch Sam slide a few more times. Maybe they would feel better.
Sam slid down the small slide again and again. He laughed and waved at Anna and Ben. He said, "Come on, it's not so bad! You can see the trees and the birds and the clouds from up here. It's a beautiful view!"
Anna and Ben felt curious. They liked trees and birds and clouds. They wondered what the view looked like from the small slide. They took a deep breath and walked to the ladder. They climbed up slowly, holding each other's hand.
When they reached the top, they saw Sam waiting for them. He said, "Hi, friends! Are you ready to slide?" Anna and Ben nodded. They looked at the view. They saw the road and the cars, but they also saw the trees and the birds and the clouds. They realized that the view was not scary, but amazing.
They smiled at Sam and said, "Thank you for showing us the view. We are ready to slide!" They slid down the small slide together, feeling happy and proud. They had fun and made a new friend. They learned that sometimes, trying new things can be good.
