Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their snacks. One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. They heard a loud noise like a lion roaring.
"What is that?" Lily asked.
"It is a hurricane," Ben said. "It is a very bad wind that can break things and hurt people. We have to go home fast."
They ran to their bikes and started to pedal. The wind was strong and pushed them back. They saw leaves and branches flying in the air. They were scared and held hands.
"Are we going to be okay?" Lily asked.
"Yes, we are," Ben said. "We are brave and strong. And we have each other."
They reached their homes and ran inside. Their moms and dads hugged them and told them they were safe. They gave them hot chocolate and cookies. Lily and Ben smiled and thanked them.
"Can I kiss Ben?" Lily asked her mom.
"Of course you can," her mom said. "He is your friend and he helped you."
Lily kissed Ben on the cheek. He blushed and kissed her back.
"Your kiss is sweet," he said.
"Your kiss is sour," she said.
They laughed and hugged. They were happy and glad. The hurricane was gone and the sun came out. They looked out the window and saw a rainbow. They knew it was a sign of hope and love.
