"What a wonderful day" said Sam as he gazed from the
window. " shall we go?"
replied his friend Jan. "I know, lets go the park. We
might see the rest of the gang and we can play hide and seek," said Sam
enthusiastically. "Hang on," cried Jan "I'm hungry. I'll grab a
from the fruit basket."
Minutes later they rushed through the park gate. "Look. They are over exclaimed Sam as he saw
his pals in the distance. "Come on, lets give them a surprise," whispered
Jan as she crept towards some nearby trees. They moved carefully, hiding behind tree
trunks. As they neared their friends they could hear voices. Sam pointed at a low
branch and began to climb.
The gang, who playing a game of
conkers, were unaware of the activity behind them and did not see Sam as he climbed

not to giggle as he looked down at his friends. He hoped they could not his stifled laughter. This

to see the crack start to appear in the wood of the branch Sam was lying on. She ran

crashed onto the floor next to them. "Owwwww" yelled Sam as he sat up and
brushed the dirt from his clothes. "That hurt." "You were lucky, I think we
had better go home and clean you up," said Jan. "Wait! is my Yo-Yo?"
They all looked up, hanging at the end of a long thin branch was the Yo-Yo swinging
gently, it's string tangled in the twigs. "It can stay there" exclaimed Sam,
"I'm not climbing trees again..." |
