“Gabe and Jude”
|
Gabe and Jude will hike a peak this weekend. Gabe wants to hike, and Jude wants to camp and have a fire, so they will hike to the peak in the day, then camp and have a fire at night.
|
|
|
|
That day, they rode their bikes to the peak at noon, and they hiked all day. The path was not wide, so Gabe and Jude walked slow. Then, Jude fell.
|
|
“Ow!” he yelled.
|
|
Jude went to him. “Are you okay?” he asked.
|
|
“My leg, my leg! The pain, the pain! Call for help!”
|
|
“Oh no,” said Gabe. “Can you walk?”
|
|
Jude did not say. He just cried and cried and cried. “I did not want to hike,” cried Jude. “I just want to camp. Why did you make me hike?”
|
|
“Don’t be mad,” said Gabe. “Just rest. We can camp here. Do you want to stay here for the night?”
|
|
“Okay,” said Jude, and he did not cry.
|
|
|
|
Gabe made a fire and set up the tent. Soon, Jude ate and smiled. He had less pain in his leg.
|
|
“Is your leg okay?” asked Gabe.
|
|
“Yes, it is,” said Jude.
|
|
“You were in a very bad mood. What a fuss! You did not want to hike, you just wanted to cry and cry.”
|
|
“Well, we can hike tomorrow. My leg will not hurt tomorrow. Then we can hike to the peak, or hike back to our bikes.”
|
|
Then, the rain came.
|
|
“Quick, get in the tent,” said Gabe. “It will rain very hard, I think.”
|
|
Jude and Gabe sat in the tent and had a good time. They went to sleep and waited for the next day. Jude hurt his leg and the rain came, but all in all, it was a good day.
