Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big hole under a tree. They wondered what was inside.
"Let's go and look," Tim said. He was brave and curious.
"No, don't go," Lily said. She was scared and careful. "It might be dangerous. There might be a rat or a snake or a spider."
Tim did not listen. He decided to go and look. He crawled to the hole and peeked inside. He saw something furry and brown. It had a long tail and sharp teeth. It was a rat!
The rat saw Tim and hissed. It was angry and hungry. It jumped out of the hole and ran towards Tim. Tim screamed and ran away. He was sorry and afraid.
Lily heard Tim and ran to him. She hugged him and comforted him. She was glad and relieved.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm okay," Tim said. "But I was wrong. You were right. The hole was dangerous. There was a rat. It was scary and mean."
"I'm sorry you saw a rat," Lily said. "But I'm happy you are safe. Next time, let's stay away from holes. They are not fun. They are trouble."
Tim nodded and agreed. He learned his lesson. He thanked Lily for being his friend. They decided to play somewhere else. They found a sandbox and a ball. They had fun and forgot about the rat.
