Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big sack in the shed. They opened it and saw many fireworks inside. They were shiny and colorful and had funny names.
"Wow, look at these!" Tom said. "Let's take some and play with them."
"No, Tom, we can't!" Lily said. "Mum and Dad said fireworks are dangerous. They can hurt us and make loud noises. We have to wait for them to light them for us on Bonfire Night."
But Tom did not listen. He was naughty and wanted to have fun. He took some fireworks and hid them in his pocket. He told Lily to follow him to the park.
At the park, Tom found a stick and a match. He lit the match and touched it to the stick. Then he put the stick in a firework and threw it in the air.
"Look, Lily, look!" he shouted. "It's going to make a big bang!"
But the firework did not go up. It fell down and landed on a pile of dry leaves. The leaves caught fire and made a lot of smoke. The smoke made Lily and Tom cough and cry.
"Help, help!" they screamed. "Fire, fire!"
Some people saw the fire and called the firemen. The firemen came with a big red truck and a loud siren. They used a hose to put out the fire. They also found the sack of fireworks and took it away.
The firemen were angry and asked Lily and Tom who did it. Lily told them the truth. She said Tom was naughty and took the fireworks without asking. Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry and he would never do it again.
The firemen told Lily and Tom to go home and tell their parents what they did. They said fireworks are not toys and they should never play with them. They said they were lucky they did not get hurt or burn the park.
Lily and Tom nodded and ran home. They were scared and sad. They knew Mum and Dad would be very cross with them. They wished they had listened to Lily and left the fireworks alone. They learned a hard lesson that day.
