Once upon a time, in a small place, there was a big rock. The rock had a face and could talk. One day, a little boy named Tim came to the rock. The boy was very slow because he was tired from playing.
"Hi, Rock," said Tim. "Can you help me find my way home?"
The rock thought for a moment. "Yes, I can help you," it said. "But you must do something for me first."
"What do you want?" asked Tim.
"Bring me a big stick," said the rock. Tim went to find a big stick. He was very slow, but he found one and brought it back to the rock.
"Thank you," said the rock. "Now, I will help you find your home. Walk that way," it said, pointing with the stick.
Tim walked and walked, but he didn't find his home. He got lost and couldn't find his way back to the rock or his family. The rock had tricked him, and Tim was very sad.
