Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big bird in the sky. It was black and white and had a long neck. It was a swan.
"Look, Tom, a swan!" Lila said. "It can soar high and low. It is so pretty!"
Tom nodded. He liked the swan too. He wanted to touch it. He ran to the pond where the swan was landing. He reached out his hand.
"Tom, no!" Lila shouted. "The swan can bite you. It is not nice. Come back!"
But Tom did not listen. He got closer to the swan. The swan saw him and hissed. It opened its beak and snapped at Tom. Tom screamed and ran away. He was scared and hurt.
Lila ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for him. She saw a piece of wood on the ground. It was weird. It had a shape like a swan. It had a head and a neck and a body and wings. It was a toy.
"Look, Tom, a toy!" Lila said. "It is a swan too. But it can not bite you. It can only soar in your hand. Do you want it?"
Tom nodded. He liked the toy. He took it and smiled. He forgot the bad swan. He waved the toy in the air. He made it soar high and low. He was happy.
Lila and Tom played with the toy. They had fun. They liked the weird wood swan. It was so pretty.
