One day, a boy named Tim went to play outside. He saw an enormous tree and wanted to climb it. Tim asked his friend, Sam, to bring him a weapon to help him climb. Sam was confused but wanted to help his friend.
Sam brought a big stick and said, "Here, use this weapon to climb the tree!" Tim looked at the stick and laughed. "That's not a weapon, that's a stick!" he said. But he tried to use it anyway. As he climbed, something unexpected happened.
A friendly squirrel jumped out of the tree and said, "Hello, Tim! I can help you climb!" Tim was surprised but happy. With the squirrel's help, Tim climbed the tree without using the stick. He and Sam learned that sometimes, friends can be more helpful than weapons.
