Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a secret spot under a big tree, where they hid their toys and snacks. They trusted each other and shared everything.
One day, a mean boy came to the park. He saw Lily and Ben's secret spot and wanted to take their things. He waited until they were busy on the swings and ran to the tree. He grabbed their toys and snacks and ran away.
Lily and Ben saw him and chased him. They shouted, "Stop! Give us back our things!" But the mean boy was faster and ran to the other side of the park. He saw a fence with a small hole. He thought he could pass through it and escape.
But he was wrong. The hole was too small for him. He got stuck in the fence. He tried to pull himself out, but he couldn't. He felt helpless. He started to cry.
Lily and Ben caught up with him. They saw him in the fence and felt sorry for him. They decided to help him. They pushed him gently from behind until he was free. They gave him some of their snacks and said, "Don't be mean. Be nice. We can be friends."
The mean boy felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Thank you for helping me. Can we be friends?" Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They invited him to play with them. They became friends and trusted each other. They learned that being nice is better than being mean.
