It was a sunny day and Pat was excited. He was playing outside in the garden and he saw a banana tree. He looked up at the tree and saw hundreds of ripe yellow bananas. He wanted to reach them, but they were too high.
Just then, it started to rain. Pat was disappointed because he wanted to pick the bananas. He watched sadly as the rain got heavier and heavier. 
Suddenly, a voice spoke up behind him. It was his humble neighbor, Mr. Johnson.
"What's wrong, Pat?" asked Mr. Johnson.
Pat told him about the bananas. Mr. Johnson smiled. 
"Don't worry, Pat. I have a ladder I can use to get the bananas for you," he said. 
Mr. Johnson brought the ladder and they were able to pick all the bananas. Pat thanked Mr. Johnson with a big hug and they both went inside the house with their baskets full of bananas.
