Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big slide with a loop in the middle. Tom wanted to climb the slide and go down the loop. Lily was scared and said, "No, Tom, that is too high and too fast. You might fall and hurt yourself."
Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "I am brave and strong. I can do it. You are a baby who is afraid of everything." He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He reached the top and looked down. He saw the loop and felt a little scared, but he did not want to show it. He said, "Here I go!" and pushed himself down the slide.
But the loop was too tight for Tom. He could not fit through it. He got stuck in the middle and started to cry. He shouted, "Help! Help! I want to get out!" Lily heard him and ran to the slide. She saw Tom in the loop and felt sorry for him. She said, "Don't worry, Tom, I will help you." She climbed up the slide and reached the loop. She pulled Tom out of the loop and hugged him. She said, "Are you okay, Tom? You were very silly to go down the loop. You should have listened to me."
Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was too proud and foolish. I should have listened to you. Thank you for helping me. You are a good sister and a good friend." He hugged Lily back and said, "I love you, Lily."
Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. Come on, let's go and play something else. Something safe and fun." They held hands and walked away from the slide. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and to listen to each other. They learned that being brave is not the same as being reckless. And they learned that being a twin is a special gift.
