Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big pipe that came out of the wall. They wondered what was inside the pipe.
"Let's look inside the pipe," Ben said. He climbed on a chair and put his eye near the hole.
"Be careful, Ben," Lily said. "Maybe there is something bad in there."
Ben did not listen. He wanted to see what was inside the pipe. He put his hand in the hole and felt something wet and cold. He pulled it out and saw a dead mouse.
"Yuck!" Ben screamed. He dropped the mouse and jumped off the chair.
Lily was scared. She ran to the hose and turned it on. She wanted to spray the mouse away. She pointed the hose at the pipe and pressed the button.
But the hose was not working well. It did not spray water. It sprayed air. The air went into the pipe and made a loud noise.
The pipe shook and burst. Water came out of the pipe and splashed Lily and Ben. They were wet and cold.
They ran to the house and told their mom what happened. She was not happy. She said they should not play with the pipe. She said they should play with their toys instead.
She gave them towels and cookies and told them to stay inside. Lily and Ben were sorry. They did not want to play with the pipe anymore. They wanted to play with their toys and eat cookies.
