Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. They had a lot of fun.
"Look, mom, I'm so fast!" Anna shouted as she slid down.
"Me too, me too!" Ben said, following her.
Their mom smiled and watched them. She was happy they were having a good time.
After a while, they got hungry and wanted to go home. Their mom said they could have pizza for lunch. They liked pizza a lot. They got in the car and drove home.
When they got home, their mom turned on the oven and put the pizza inside. She told Anna and Ben to wash their hands and wait in the living room. They did as they were told and sat on the couch. They watched some cartoons on TV.
Suddenly, they smelled something bad. They looked at the kitchen and saw smoke coming out of the oven. They got scared and ran to their mom.
"Mom, mom, something's wrong with the oven!" Anna cried.
"Oh no, the pizza's burning!" their mom said. She grabbed a mitt and opened the oven. She took out the pizza and threw it in the sink. She turned off the oven and opened the window. She coughed and waved her hand to clear the smoke.
"Are you okay, mom?" Ben asked.
"Yes, I'm okay, thank you. I'm sorry, kids, the pizza's ruined. I forgot to set the timer. I was so careless." their mom said.
"It's okay, mom, we still love you. You're not careless, you're just busy." Anna said.
"Yeah, mom, don't be sad. We can have something else for lunch. Maybe some soup or some sandwiches." Ben said.
They hugged their mom and made her feel better. They were not helpless, they were helpful. They helped their mom clean up the mess and find something else to eat. They still had a good day, even if the pizza was burned. They learned that sometimes things go wrong, but they can always fix them together. They were a happy family.
