Tom and Lily like to play police. They have hats and badges and a toy car. They pretend to solve problems and catch bad people. One day, they see a big mess in the park. Someone has broken the swings and the slide and the sandbox. Tom and Lily are sad and angry.
They decide to solve the problem. They look for clues. They see footprints and candy wrappers and a broken bike. They follow the clues to a house. They knock on the door. A boy opens the door. He has chocolate on his face and a bandage on his knee. He looks scared.
Tom and Lily ask him if he knows who made the mess in the park. He says he is sorry. He was bored and angry. He had a fight with his sister and ran away. He broke the bike and the swings and the slide and the sandbox. He says he will help clean up and say sorry to everyone.
Tom and Lily are creative. They have an idea. They ask the boy if he wants to play police with them. They say they can be friends and have fun. They say they can help him with his sister and his bike. The boy smiles and says yes. He puts on a hat and a badge and gets in the toy car.
They go back to the park. They clean up the mess. They say sorry to the people. They play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They have a good time. They solve the problem. They are good police. They are good friends.
