Lily and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to find sticks and stones and make things with them. They saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside.
They went closer to the hole and looked in. They saw something white and hard. It looked like a head, but it had no eyes or nose or hair. It was a skull. Lily and Ben were scared.
"Who is that?" Lily asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it was a bad person who did bad things and no one liked him. Maybe he died alone and no one buried him. Maybe he rotted in the hole." Ben said.
"That is sad. We should be good people and do good things and make friends. We don't want to end up like him." Lily said.
"Yes, you are right. We should be kind and helpful and happy. We don't want to rot in a hole." Ben said.
They left the skull in the hole and ran back to their home. They hugged their mom and dad and told them they loved them. They were good children and they were not afraid of skulls.
