Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide, but Anna is scared.
"Come on, Anna, it is fun!" Tom says. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top and smiles. He slides down very fast and laughs.
Anna watches Tom. She wants to try, but she is afraid. She thinks the slide is too high and too fast. She suffers in her heart. She does not want to be a baby, but she does not want to be hurt.
"Anna, Anna, come here!" Tom calls. He runs to Anna and holds her hand. "You can do it, Anna. I will help you. It is not scary, it is fun. Trust me."
Tom leads Anna to the slide. He climbs up the ladder with her. He sits behind her and hugs her. He says, "Are you ready, Anna? We will go together. Just open your eyes and smile. You will see, it is amazing."
Anna nods. She opens her eyes and smiles. She feels Tom's hug. She hears his voice. She trusts him. They slide down together. They feel the wind and the sun. They laugh.
Anna is happy. She is not scared anymore. She likes the slide. She thanks Tom. They hug. They are friends. They play in the park.
