Lily and Tom were bored. They had nothing to do in their room. They looked at the ceiling and saw some cracks and stains.
"Let's race!" Lily said. "We can run from one wall to the other and see who is faster."
"OK!" Tom said. "But you have to start from the door and I start from the window. That's fair."
They got ready to race. They counted to three and then ran as fast as they could. Lily was ahead of Tom. She was happy. She wanted to win.
But she did not see the toy car on the floor. She stepped on it and slipped. She fell down hard and hit her head on the corner of the bed. She cried out in pain and blood came out of her wound.
Tom stopped running and saw what happened. He was scared. He ran to Lily and tried to help her. He called for their mom.
Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Lily and Tom and the blood. She was angry and worried. She yelled at them.
"What were you doing? You are so ignorant! You could have killed yourselves! Racing in the room is dangerous! You are not allowed to do that!"
She picked up Lily and took her to the car. She drove to the hospital. Tom followed them. He felt sorry and sad. He wished they had not raced. He wished they had played something else. He wished Lily was OK.
