Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big blue balloon in the sky. It is very pretty.
"Look, Anna, a blue balloon!" Ben says.
"Wow, it is so pretty! I want it!" Anna says.
They run after the balloon. They want to catch it. But the balloon is too high. They cannot reach it.
"Maybe we can ask someone to help us," Ben says.
They see a man with a ladder. He is fixing a light. They go to him.
"Excuse me, sir, can you help us?" Anna says.
"What do you need, little ones?" the man says.
"We want the blue balloon in the sky. It is very pretty. Can you get it for us?" Ben says.
The man looks at the balloon. He smiles.
"Sure, I can try. But you have to be careful. The balloon might pop," he says.
He puts his ladder under the balloon. He climbs up. He reaches for the balloon. He grabs it. He comes down.
"Here you go, kids. The blue balloon is yours," he says.
He gives the balloon to Anna and Ben. They are very happy. They thank the man.
"Thank you, sir, you are very nice!" Anna says.
"Yes, thank you, sir, you are very kind!" Ben says.
They hug the balloon. They play with it. They are very careful. They do not want the balloon to pop. They have a lot of fun. They are glad that the blue balloon happened to be in the sky. It is very pretty.
