Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big oak tree. The oak tree had many branches and leaves. It was fun to see the birds and the sky from the top.
But one day, they saw a sign on the oak tree. The sign said: "Do not climb. The tree is sick. It can break and hurt you." Anna and Ben were sad. They loved the oak tree.
"Let's climb anyway," Ben said. "The sign is silly. The tree is strong. It won't break."
"No, Ben," Anna said. "We have to listen to the sign. It is there to help us. If we climb, we can get hurt. And we can make the tree worse. And we can get punished."
"Punished by who?" Ben asked. "No one is watching. Come on, Anna. Don't be scared. It will be fun."
Ben did not listen to Anna. He ran to the oak tree and started to climb. Anna followed him. She did not want to be alone. She hoped nothing bad would happen.
But something bad did happen. When Ben reached a high branch, he heard a loud crack. The branch broke under his weight. Ben fell down and landed on the ground. He cried out in pain. He had a big cut on his leg. It was bleeding.
Anna was scared. She climbed down quickly and ran to Ben. She saw his cut and felt sorry for him. She tried to comfort him. She said: "Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry. We should not have climbed. We should have listened to the sign."
Ben was in pain. He was also ashamed. He knew he had been wrong. He said: "Anna, you were right. I was silly. I did not listen to the sign. I did not listen to you. I'm sorry. I hope the tree is okay. I hope we don't get punished."
Anna and Ben hugged each other. They hoped the tree would get better. They hoped their parents would not be angry. They learned a lesson. They learned to respect the signs and the trees. They learned to be careful and kind.
