Sam was eager to test his new glove. He got it for his birthday from his dad. It was red and shiny and had a big star on it. Sam wanted to play catch with his dad and show him how good he was.
He ran outside with his glove and his ball. He saw his dad waiting for him in the yard. He smiled and waved. His dad smiled and waved back. He threw the ball to Sam. Sam caught it with his glove. He felt happy and proud.
He threw the ball back to his dad. His dad caught it and threw it again. They did this many times. Sam was having fun. He felt his glove getting warmer and tighter. He thought it was because he was playing so well.
But then he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He looked at his glove and saw smoke. His glove was on fire. He screamed and dropped the ball. His dad ran to him and took off his glove. He saw Sam's hand was burned and blistered. He hugged Sam and said he was sorry.
He said he did not know the glove was bad. He said he got it from a man who said it was special. He said he wanted to make Sam happy. He said he would take Sam to the doctor and get him a new glove. Sam cried and said he did not want a new glove. He said he wanted his hand to be okay. He said he hated the glove and the man who sold it. He said he wished he never tested it.
