Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to make vroom-vroom noises and pretend they were racing. Sara had a red car and Ben had a blue car.
"Let's see who is faster," Sara said. "We can race to the fence and back."
"OK," Ben said. "But first we need to fill our cars with fuel."
They ran to the shed and found a can of water. They poured some water into their cars and said it was fuel.
"Ready, set, go!" Sara shouted. They pushed their cars along the grass and tried to reach the fence first.
But something was wrong. Sara's car stopped halfway and made a terrible noise. It sounded like it was broken.
"What happened?" Ben asked. He stopped his car and ran to Sara.
"I don't know," Sara said. She looked at her car and saw water dripping from it. "Maybe the fuel was bad."
She picked up her car and shook it. More water came out.
"That's not fuel, that's water!" Ben said. He looked at the can and saw a label that said "Water. Do not drink."
"Oh no," Sara said. "We made a mistake. We used the wrong can."
She felt sad and angry. She liked her car and did not want it to be broken.
"Why did you use this can?" she questioned Ben. "Did you not read the label?"
Ben felt sorry and scared. He did not read the label. He did not know how to read.
"I'm sorry, Sara," he said. "I did not know. I just saw a can and thought it was fuel."
He hugged Sara and said he was sorry again.
Sara hugged him back and said it was OK. She knew he did not mean to hurt her car.
"Maybe we can fix it," she said. "Let's go and ask Dad. He knows about cars."
They took their cars and the can and ran to the house. They hoped Dad could help them. They learned a lesson. They should always check what they use before they play.
