Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, and swing. One day, they saw a big hill with rocks and dirt. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
They held hands and started to go up the hill. It was hard and steep. They had to be careful not to slip or fall. They felt anxious, but also excited. They wanted to reach the top.
When they got to the top, they saw a big drop. It was a cliff. They could not see the bottom. They could only see the sky and the birds. They were scared. They did not want to go near the edge.
They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. A storm was coming. They saw dark clouds and lightning. They heard the wind and the rain. They wanted to go back down the hill. They wanted to go home.
They turned around and ran. They did not look where they were going. They did not see the rock. Tom tripped and fell. He hit his head on the rock. He cried out in pain. He had a big bump. Lily saw blood. She was scared. She wanted to help Tom.
She ran to Tom and hugged him. She tried to make him feel better. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm here. We'll go home soon." She looked for help. She saw a man. He was a park ranger. He had a hat and a badge. He had a radio and a first aid kit. He heard Tom and Lily. He came to them.
He saw Tom's wound. He said, "Don't worry, kids. I'm here to help. I'll strike a bandage on your head, Tom. It will stop the bleeding and the pain. Then I'll take you both to your parents. They're waiting for you at the gate. They're anxious to see you."
He did what he said. He struck a bandage on Tom's head. He picked up Tom and Lily. He took them to his truck. He drove them to the gate. He found their parents. They were happy and relieved to see them. They thanked the park ranger. They hugged Tom and Lily. They said, "We're so glad you're safe. We love you."
Tom and Lily said, "We love you too. We're sorry we climbed the hill. We won't do it again. It was scary and dangerous. We learned our lesson."
They went home. They had hot chocolate and cookies. They told their parents what happened. They said, "We're lucky the park ranger was there. He was nice and helpful. He struck a bandage on Tom's head. He saved us."
Their parents said, "Yes, he did. He was a hero. You should thank him again. And you should be careful next time. Don't go near the cliff. It's not a place for kids. It's a place for birds."
Tom and Lily nodded. They agreed. They said, "We will. We promise." They smiled. They felt better. They cuddled with their parents. They watched a movie. They fell asleep. They dreamed of the park, the hill, the cliff, and the birds. But they did not dream of the storm, the rock, or the blood. They dreamed of the sun, the grass, and the flowers. They dreamed of happy things.
