There were two friends named Amanda and Joe. They had just gotten a new melon. Amanda wanted to throw the melon, but Joe said it was too new. 
"No, let's not throw it," said Joe. 
"Yes!" cried Amanda excitedly. "Let's throw the melon!"
Joe disagreed. He said it was too new and he didn't want it to break. 
"Aww, let's do it together!" said Amanda.
Joe thought for awhile and then agreed, but said they should be very careful not to drop the new melon. 
They threw the melon back and forth. It was so much fun, until suddenly Amanda dropped the new melon. It split open and the juicy pulp spattered everywhere! 
Amanda and Joe looked at each other in horror. They felt so sad that they had broken the new melon. They hugged each other and promised to be more careful next time.
