Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill. It was green and had flowers. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side.
They asked their moms if they could go. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and come back soon. Lily and Tom were happy. They took their bikes and rode to the hill. They left their bikes at the bottom and started to climb.
The hill was steep and hard. Lily and Tom had to use their hands and feet. They got tired and dirty. But they did not give up. They wanted to see the other side. They thought it would be perfect.
They reached the top of the hill. They looked around. They saw a big road with many cars. They saw a lot of smoke and noise. They saw no flowers or trees. They saw no animals or birds. They saw nothing they liked.
They were sad and angry. They had climbed the hill for nothing. They had wasted their time and energy. They had missed their snack and nap. They had no fun. They sighed. They wished they had stayed at home. They turned around and went down the hill. They got their bikes and rode back. They did not talk to each other. They did not look at each other. They were not friends anymore.
